In the post match presentation Bumrah said - It means a great deal to play. We know it's a difficult time, everyone is stuck at home. We're lucky that we could come to work and entertain people watching at home. If we could bring smiles to their faces, it's the best thing we could do. From the first game I felt my rhythm was up. The last piece of the puzzle was missing. But when I bowled the Super Over, I had to execute against Virat and AB and since then it clicked into place.

Jofra Archer was named as the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. He took 20 wickets and scored 113 runs, including 10 sixes, for Rajasthan Royals.

Devdutt Padikkal was names as the Emerging Player of the year

Man of the Match - Trent Boult

Man of the series - Joffra Archer 

Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai coach said this on the post match presentation : I wish I could explain myself. I don't think it was easy. You have the tag of being champions and Mumbai not winning the even years - so I had to bring the boys together. What we've done is try and be consistent with the processes and preparation, trying to get the guys used to that. Not try to do anything more or less. Obviously this year has been a little different. But the guys enjoyed that setup. I think the six-hitting has been in Mumbai's DNA for a while. What we try is to play to a tempo, the touch play. Credit to the franchise who allow us to do this, make a bit of history. It's all about helping them prepare and make sure they understand the roles they play, making things easy for them. We've got a leadership group out there so we try and give them a bit of work to do. The boys have heard my other side, once in a while. They showed what they can do out there.
