Mumbai Indians skipper-cum-opener Rohit Sharma played a captain's knock of 68 to help his side clinch a comfortable five-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in the summit showdown of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and clinch a record fifth title at the Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday.

Opting to bat first, first-time finalist Delhi made a worst start to their innings, losing openers Marcus Stoinis (0) and Shikhar Dhawan (15) and first-drop Ajinkya Rahane (2) inside just 22 runs.

Subsequently, skipper Shreyas Iyer (65) then led from the front by not only notching up a half-century but also stitched a crucial stand of 96 runs with wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant (56) for the fourth wicket to power Delhi Capitals to a decent total of 156/7.

For Mumbai Indians, Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers with impressive figures of three for 30. Nathan Coulter-Nile and Jayant Yadav contributed with two and a wicket, respectively.

Chasing the target, Rohit Sharma not only scored a match-defining fifty but also shared over 40-run partnership each with Quinton de Kock (20), Suryakumar Yadav (19) and Ishan Kishan (33 not out), respectively to help Mumbai Indians cross the mark in 18.4 overs and dent Delhi Capitals' hopes of achieving their maiden IPL glory.
