Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Capitals by five wickets in the Indian Premier League 2020 final in Dubai on Tuesday to extend their record as the most successful team in the T20 tournament.
This year’s IPL, played in the United Emirates, was arguably the most competitive season in the tournament’s 13-year history. But that’s with a caveat. It applies only to the race for top four. The playoff spots weren’t complete till the last match of the league stage as the eight teams fought hard right till the end.
However, Mumbai Indians were a class apart through the season. They finished the league stage in first position and then continued their fine form in the playoffs as well.
There were a number of outstanding performances right through the tournament, with players from all eight teams enthralling the audiences with their talent.
Here’s a look at the winners of all the big awards that were announced after the final on Tuesday:
Fairplay award: Mumbai Indians
Not only didn’t MI win the title, they were even awarded the fairplay award (for playing the game in the right spirit).
