KATHMANDU: Mitchell Johnson held his nerves as he successfully defended 11 runs in the last over as Mumbai Indians defeated Rising Pune Supergiant by a solitary run to clinch the IPL title 2017. The final match was played at the  Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppali, in Hyderabad on Sunday evening. Mumbai Indian finally broke the Rising Pune Supergiant jinx as they were beaten in a home and away fixtures and a crunching eliminator game. After winning the toss, Mumbai Indian's captain Rohit Sharma opted to bat first, however, his decision backfired as they lost opener Parthiv Patel and Lendl Simmons in second over to pace spearhead Jayadev Unadkat. Both the batsmen fell prey to Unadkat's off cutters' deliveries as he served them a heck of deliveries which swivel in the air to change the directions. Simmons was caught and bowl by Unadkat as he tried to flick the ball over to the mid-wicket region, however, skied a catch to the bowler. Mumbai Indian's innings was in disarray and were reeling at 65-5 in the eleventh over. Krunal Pandya steadied the innings with a patience 47 runs to knock off just 38 balls with three fours and two maximum hit to the fence. Rising Pune Supergiant's bowler Jaydev Unadkat, Adam Zampa and Daniel Christian took two wickets each. They restricted the Mumbai Indian's for a 129 runs off for the loss of eight wickets in their allotted 20 overs. A Late blitz from Krunal Pandya was the highlight of Mumbai Indian's batting as other petered out at regular intervals. In reply, Rising Pune Supergiant looked in control as they were cruising nicely in their chase of 130 runs of victory to lift the maiden IPL trophy.  Jasprit Bumrah had other ideas as he dismissed Rahul Tripathi plumb leg before the wicket and took the vital wicket of Mahendra Singh Dhoni to curtail their run chase. Captain Steve Smith and Ajinke Rahane shared a 54 runs partnership for the second wicket. Rahane struck 44 runs off 38 deliveries with five cracking strokes to the fence. His departure shifted the pressure to the batting side and the new batsman MS Dhoni failed to rotate strikes regularly. Rahane perished to mid off trying to up-the-ante against former Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson. Lasith Malinga's 18th over shifted the momentum back to Mumbai Indians as he conceded just seven runs with Pune still needing 23 runs off 12 deliveries. Captain Steve Smith snatched 12 runs of Jaspirt Burmah's penultimate over and brought the equation down to 11 off last over. He hit a flat six over the bowler's head and took his team close to Mumbai's total. Rohit Sharma handed the responsibility to defend 11 runs for the senior pro Mitchell Johnson, however Manoj Tiwary belted a flamboyant shot for a shot towards fine leg with Pune still needing 7 runs off 5 balls. The drama unfolded in the next ball as Tiwary threw away his wicket to give Mumbai a sniff of chance of winning a match as he was holed out in the long off. In the next ball captain Smith was caught brilliantly by Ambati Rayudu at sweeper cover as he played a measured innings of ice for a fire 51 runs. Pune were still in a hunt but Mitchell Johnson bowled brilliantly and gave away just two runs off last ball to cling a thrilling one run victory to the team as Dan Christain failed to hit a boundary of the last ball. Mitchall Johnson was the pick of the bowler with 4-0-26-3. Jasprit Bumrah chipped in with two crucial wickets. Krunal Pandya was adjudged as man of the match.
