IPL 2017 delivered one of the most dramatic conclusions in the history of franchise cricket. The tenth edition ran from 5 April 2017 to 21 May 2017 — a special milestone season marking the IPL’s tenth anniversary. The tournament featured two new franchises — Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions — replacing the suspended CSK and Rajasthan Royals. Eight teams contested 59 matches across India’s finest venues — and the final produced a finish so close that it will be discussed for generations.

IPL 2017 Winner — Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians won IPL 2017 — their third IPL title — in the most dramatic fashion imaginable. Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, Mumbai were not the most dominant team in the league stage but elevated their performance at precisely the right moments in the knockout rounds. Their campaign was defined by resilience — the ability to win matches from difficult positions — and the individual brilliance of their key match-winners.
Kieron Pollard’s explosive batting in the lower order, Lasith Malinga’s death-over mastery, Jasprit Bumrah’s emergence as one of the most difficult fast bowlers to score against in any format, and Rohit Sharma’s steady batting leadership combined to give Mumbai the tools for success in knockout cricket where fine margins decide titles.
Mumbai’s three IPL titles in five seasons reflected a genuine organisational excellence — a franchise that had built durable winning infrastructure around a core of match-winners who consistently delivered when it mattered most.
IPL 2017 Runner-Up — Rising Pune Supergiant
Rising Pune Supergiant — one of the two temporary franchises replacing suspended teams — delivered one of the most impressive campaigns in IPL history. Under the captaincy of Steve Smith, Pune were led brilliantly to the final of their second and final season. Ben Stokes, MS Dhoni (playing a secondary role), Ajinkya Rahane, Manoj Tiwary, and the young Washington Sundar all contributed to one of the most complete team performances by a franchise playing their last season. The heartbreak of losing by one run in the final was as cruel an ending as any team has experienced in IPL history.
IPL 2017 Final — Mumbai Indians vs Rising Pune Supergiant
The final was played on 21 May 2017 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Rising Pune Supergiant batted first and posted 128/7 in 20 overs — a moderate total that appeared below par on a good batting surface. However, the RPS bowlers — led by Jaydev Unadkat — reduced Mumbai’s powerful batting lineup to serious difficulties.
The chase became a genuine nail-biter — wickets fell regularly and Mumbai found themselves needing to score at a rapid rate with only tail-enders at the wicket in the final overs. Krunal Pandya and Mitchell McClenaghan added crucial runs in a last-wicket stand that took the match to the final ball. With Mumbai needing 2 from the last delivery, Lendl Simmons hit a boundary that gave Mumbai victory by 1 run — the narrowest winning margin in IPL final history.
