NEW DELHI: After clinching a nerve-wracking one-run victory over Chennai Super Kings within the IPL 2019 ultimate, Mumbai Indians icon Sachin Tendulkar reckoned MS Dhoni's dismissal within the 13th over performed a huge role in MI's record fourth IPL title.
"The key moment was Dhoni's run-out. But also in patches when Bumrah bowled those critical to even out Malinga's one poor over was also crucial," Sachin said after the fit.
"And the last over, thought Malinga finished the game out beautifully. And as for the final, we knew we defended 129 in the final two years ago, so we were confident," the legendary Indian cricketer added.
Mumbai snatched victory from the jaws of defeat after Shane Watson had hit a fierce 80 that left Chennai needed two runs off the final ball to overtake Mumbai's 149-8 however Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga bowled Shardul Thakur lbw to say the landmark win.
West Indies batsman Kieron Pollard smashed an unbeaten 41 off 25 balls to arrange the Mumbai overall in Hyderabad. Watson batted throughout the Chennai innings till he used to be run out within the ultimate over, smashing 4 sixes and eight fours.
