IPL FINAL 2019 MI VS CSK

[ULTRA]

19.6 Malinga to SN Thakur, out Lbw!! Slower off-cutter, and things don't dip in the slot any better. 2013. 2015. 2017. 2019, you don't challenge arithmatic progressions and you don't challenge Mumbai Indians. Thakur - poor old Thakur sent ahead of his usual position - walks across his stumps, freezes bang in front of middle looking to flick it across the line. But again, it's the finals, he chokes, misses and is trapped plumb, bang in front of middle. Oh Malinga, you really couldn't have redeemed yourself any better. SN Thakur lbw b Malinga 2(2)

Harsha Bhogle: Magnificent campaign by CSK but player for player MI were the superior side. Overall, they were the best team in the tournament.

Ah, scenes. Wild scenes. Malinga does a walking Afridi, and Rohit Sharma's doing a Tahir of his own. And the whole of Mumbai's dug-out comes out to mob him over. And the fireworks in Hyderabad just don't seem to be stopping. Nita Ambani is in tears, Stephen Fleming's facepalming, and it's a madness of Blue around. A zillion hugs all around. Watson (2019) = Smith (2017). There's something in these 20th overs and Mumbai. MS Dhoni, in the middle of all this manages to stay poker-faced, walking out quickly to shake hands.

It's been a habit in this season - Mumbai-4 | 0-Chennai.

Kieron Pollard - Of course, these sort are the games we need to perform in, these are the games that people remember, scoring runs first in the final is always good, the pressure is on the chasing team. Credit to these guys, Bumrah bowled a fine spell and then Lasith did the things he can do. In 2017, when we see back at that game (against RPS in the final), we didn't put many runs and it went to the final over, this season too we had some really close games. It's the teams that do not put pressure on themselves that can become champions at the end of the tournament.

 

[The Immortal]

Lasith Malinga: If we conceded one run, then we wouldn't win, and I wanted to win so I got the wicket.

Suryakumar Yadav: I think it was a very exciting game. Perfect final. We wanted this to happen at the end of the season. Most importantly the process that we follow before the tournament starts. That I feel is the key which takes the team forward and wins you titles.
