Mumbai's victory over Delhi. Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians won the IPL title for the fifth time. Tuesday's final was Hitman's 200th match in the IPL. That match became more memorable for him. He made history in Dubai on this day.

Mumbai has changed with the touch of Captain Rohit. In 2013, the leadership baton passed from Ricky Ponting to Hitman. Mumbai Shibir became the champion for the first time that year. Since then, the Mumbai Indians have only moved forward under Rohit's leadership. After 2015, 2016, 2019, they are the champions again. Rohit is the most successful captain of the competition after winning the IPL five times. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has yet to win a trophy for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bangalore ended the race in the play-offs.

Just what is Kohli? Delhi Capitals stood at the crossroads of making history on Tuesday. If they could beat Mumbai, the trophy would go to Delhi for the first time. Shreyas Ayyar used to set an example as a junior captain. But Rohit's storm shattered Delhi's dream. Even though it was very close, Delhi remained far away. Mumbai picked up Shreyas' 157 runs in 18.4 overs.

Shreyas won the toss and elected to bat. The purpose was to put pressure on Mumbai by scoring runs on the scoreboard. But Trent Bolt thought otherwise. Kiwi pacer started the fire from the first ball. He broke the batting spine of Delhi. The Delhi captain pulled the team under pressure. He absorbed the toxic delivery of boomerang-bolts. Playing an innings of 75 off 50 balls, he took the team to a place to fight. Delhi had to take wickets from the start to win the match with a capital of 156 runs.

Kagiso Rabada also had to spell like Bolt. Rabada and Enrich dancers did not get that opportunity. Mumbai started chasing runs at express speed. Rohit and Quinton de Kock took the offensive route from the start. The purpose was to take a good run in the powerplay and take the rush of the match in hand. That plan was successful in Mumbai. Mumbai lost the first wicket by 45 runs. Stoinis dismissed Quinton (20) in Marquette. Suryakumar Yadav (19) was run out due to a misunderstanding with the Mumbai captain.

However, Rohit did not lose focus. When he returned to the dug-out after playing an innings of 7 off 51 balls, the Mumbai camp got the smell of victory. Before that, Rohit's bat ruled the Delhi bowlers. The Delhi bowlers lost rhythm in Hitman's attacking batting. He could not play in four matches due to hamstring injury. Kieron Pollard led the team in his place. Although he returned to the team before the play-off, he did not catch the familiar rhythm. But the final is the big stage. Champions like Rohit look at this kind of stage.

In real time, the Delhi batsmen could not match themselves. Marcus Stoinis came down to open the day with Shikhar Dhawan. He took the storm to open the previous match. Stoinis was dismissed by Quinton D'Cock with the first ball of the Kiwi pacer. He was hesitant about whether to play shots. Stoinis called for danger at the last minute. He did not even open the book. In the beginning, Delhi relied on Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane for losing the wickets of Stoinis. The two star batsmen have a lot of experience. With that experience. They could control the situation. But Rahane also had to return quickly after bowling in Bolt's fire. Rahane scored only 2 runs. After losing 2 wickets for 18 runs, Delhi was under pressure. Captain Shreyas Nemei played a dangerous shot. He got a boundary on that ride. Shreyas caught the next ball. Bolt could not catch because of luck.
