Mumbai Indians won a record third Indian Premier League title beating Rising Pune Supergiant by a single run on Sunday.
Mumbai are the first team to win the IPL three times in its 10-year history and captain Rohit Sharma said it had been a “brilliant effort” to turn just 129-8 into a winning score in the tense final. Chasing 130, Pune batsmen faltered on a slow track to end on 128-6 at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
It was a thrilling finale to the tenth edition of the league. Understandably, Twitter was abuzz during the match with fans, players and even trolls in full flow. Here’s a look at the best of Twitter after #IPLFinal
