MI became five-time IPL champions and ended up registering a total of eleven wins throughout the tournament. Boult was awarded the Man of the Match. Ishan Kishan won the award for most sixes (30) while Kieron Pollard won the Super Striker (191.42) of the Season award.

Head Coach Mahela Jayawardene was quite elated with his team’s performance throughout the season. Both him and skipper Rohit Sharma shared their thoughts at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Rohit: We missed playing at the Wankhede and hope to get back there next year

“I'm quite happy with how things went the whole season. We said at the start that we need the winning habit. We couldn't have asked for anything more, right on the money from the ball one and we never looked back. I think a lot of credit goes to the people who worked behind the scenes, they often go unnoticed.”

“Our work started long before the IPL started and we wanted to make sure we filled the gaps in previous seasons. I had to find the balance to get the best out of them. I'm not someone who can run behind them with a stick. It's important to instill confidence in the players.”

“Krunal, Hardik, and Pollard have done their job for a long time, they know their roles. Rahul missed out today and we need to make sure we put an arm around him and assure that he didn't do anything wrong and that it was a tactical move. We made sure Ishan and Surya had confidence - just have to let Ishan loose. Surya is a more mature player. The kind of form he was in, I should have sacrificed my wicket for Surya. But throughout the tournament, he has played some incredible shots.”

“Unfortunately, we couldn't have the fans at the stadium. We missed playing at the Wankhede and hopefully, we can get back there next year.”

Mahela: Today is the culmination of all of the hard work

“It was a tough tournament. There were a lot of superstitions about odd years. I have to congratulate Ricky and his team, they have had a great season and they were a tough opponent today. We had a great preparation, and we tried to manage them well and ensure they didn't overdo or underdo any of the work.”

“Hitting sixes has been in MI's DNA for a long time. We have tried to bring in the touch play a little bit to balance it out. Credit to the management who bought into our ideas and that helped create history today. It's all about helping the team preparation-wise and explain their roles to them.”

“We have a good leadership group out there, and a great support staff who have helped them out. The boys have seen my not-so-soft side, but the group has worked off-season, and today is the culmination of all of the hard work.”
