Tournament Overview
Series Overview
The 2017 Indian Premier League — Season 10 — produced arguably the most dramatic final in the tournament's history. Mumbai Indians posted a modest 129/8 against Rising Pune Supergiant, with Krunal Pandya's fighting 47* off 38 balls rescuing MI from a dismal 79/5. Pune's chase appeared controlled for most of the innings, but the final over delivered unbearable tension. Mumbai needed to defend 11 runs in the last over. Bowled by Mitchell Johnson, the over saw Manoj Tiwary swing the pendulum back and forth until the very last ball — when Pune fell just 1 run short of victory. Mumbai Indians had won their third IPL title by the slimmest possible margin. The tournament itself was a standout edition for English cricket: Ben Stokes was named Player of the Tournament for his explosive batting and handy medium pace for Rising Pune Supergiant, while David Warner's 641 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad demonstrated why he is among the greatest T20 openers of his generation. It was also the last edition featuring the Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions, who had been created as two-year replacements for the suspended Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
