New Delhi: Rohit Sharma led defending champions Mumbai Indians to an unparalleled fifth IPL title in Dubai on Tuesday, dismantling Delhi Capitals in the summit clash with his famously elegant batting and tactical shrewdness. Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) skipper KL Rahul won the Orange Cap while Delhi Capitals pacer Kagiso Rabada won the Purple Cap.
Five IPL titles are certain to make Rohit the undisputed ‘Numero Uno’ player-cum-leader in the IPL Universe. This edition was made more challenging by the COVID-19 pandemic and the bi-bubbles that players had to endure.
