Man of the match, however, went to Devon Conway, the prominent New Zealand opener who put 74 runs for the first wicket by the seventh over with Ruturaj Gaikwad (26), giving CSK a quick start in the chase with a 25-ball 47. As they started at an asking rate of around 12 runs, the onslaught relieved CSK of some of the pressure in the chase.
With 672 runs overall, Devon Conway placed third in the orange cap race behind eventual champion Shubman Gill, who amassed 891 runs. Conway described it as the finest victory of his career in a statement after being given the Man of the Match award.
The New Zealand opener stated that it was stressful to wait for so long, but Ruturaj and he planned the strategy. Personally, it was his career’s biggest triumph and it was the biggest IPL final ever. He further lauded former CSK player and coach Mike Hussey, the other left-handed player, and expressed immense gratitude to be in his shoes and led CSK to victory.
Shubman Gill was named the man of the tournament.
