Mitchell McClenaghan took three for 25 in his four overs, while Harbhajan Singh and Lasith Malinga took two wickets a piece. This is the second IPL Championship the Mumbai Indians have won. Mumbai Indians (MI) were crowned the Indian Premier League 2015 (IPL 8) champions on Sunday night (May 24).
Mumbai Indians completed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in the eight-year history of the Indian Premier League by transforming a terrible start to the tournament - they were at the bottom of the table for the first two weeks - into a title win.
Rohit Sharma’s boys have already left their mark during this season by staging a brilliant turnaround, after getting off to a slow start. In many ways, this season has turned out to be a repeat of their 2014 campaign, when Mumbai Indians lost the first five matches but, then won seven of the remaining nine, to scrape through to the Playoffs, where they succumbed to Chennai Super Kings, in the Eliminator.
MS Dhoni's choice of bowling first on a patchy Eden Gardens pitch was interesting, not because he might have over-compensated for the presence of dew later on but because it was a departure from a strategy that had worked for Super Kings during in their two previous title wins - bat first, score big, then apply the squeeze.
This time, however, the Hitmen have gone a step ahead. They lost four matches at the start of the season but, then caused a dramatic turnaround to win eight of the next ten games, to finish second in the league stage. And the Mumbai Indians continued their charge, by thumping Chennai Super Kings in the first qualifier earlier in the week, to assure themselves of a place in the final.
The final, a repeat of their 2013 success at the same ground against the same opposition, turned out to be one of the easier outings after an unbridled early onslaught by Rohit Sharma and Lendl Simmons, both of whom hit half-centuries, stunned Chennai Super Kings - veterans of IPL finals - into submission. Super Kings were not even given a sniff.
Mitchell McClenaghan was the most successful of the MI bowlers, returning figures of 3 for 25, while Harbhajan Singh was the pick of the bowlers, picking up the wickets of the two dangermen Smith and Raina. Lasith Malinga (2-25) and R Vinay Kumar (1-39) were the other wicket-takers.
