IPL 2019 Winner — Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians won IPL 2019 — their fourth IPL title — defeating arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings in the final to become the most successful franchise in IPL history at that point. Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, Mumbai delivered their most complete team performance of recent seasons — with every department contributing at crucial moments across the tournament.
The bowling attack was once again the cornerstone — Jasprit Bumrah was at the peak of his powers, combining precision yorkers with sharp bouncers to make him the most feared death bowler in world cricket. Lasith Malinga contributed wisdom and experience alongside his lethal toe-crushers. The batting was led by Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma at the top, with Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya providing lower-order firepower.
Mumbai’s fourth title in seven seasons placed them firmly ahead of Chennai Super Kings in the all-time IPL winners list and confirmed their status as the tournament’s greatest franchise of the first decade.
IPL 2019 Runner-Up — Chennai Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings reached the final for the seventh time in twelve seasons — a consistency record that remains unmatched. Led by MS Dhoni, CSK were as competitive and organised as ever — Shane Watson, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, and Dwayne Bravo all contributing to another excellent campaign. Losing a second IPL final by 1 run was heartbreaking — but the quality of CSK’s campaigns consistently demonstrated why they remain the IPL’s most admired franchise.
IPL 2019 Final — Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings
The final was played on 12 May 2019 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. Mumbai Indians batted first and posted 149/8 — a below-par total that CSK should have been capable of chasing comfortably. The chase was anything but comfortable — wickets fell at regular intervals and the match swung back and forth with every over.
With CSK needing 2 from the last ball to win, Lasith Malinga delivered a perfect low full toss that Shardul Thakur failed to dispatch — winning Mumbai the match by 1 run in the same one-run margin that had decided the 2017 final. A second consecutive final lost by one run was devastating for CSK — but the quality of the cricket between these two franchises reflected the highest standards the IPL can produce.
