Kieron Pollard has won most T20 tournaments, Rohit Sharma is way behind his Mumbai Indians teammate

New Delhi, November 12: Mumbai Indians lifted their unprecedented fifth title in the Indian Premier League (IPL) when the Rohit Sharma-led side defeated Delhi Capitals by 5 wickets in the grand finale of IPL 2020 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday (November 10).

Mumbai Indians became the second team after Chennai Super Kings to successfully defend their IPL title. The Mumbai-based franchise now has two more trophies than Chennai Super Kings, who have three trophies to their name.

The final against Delhi was the first occasion when Mumbai Indians won their first IPL final while chasing a target. The Mumbai-based franchise was too good a team for Delhi Capitals to beat as the Shreyas Iyer-led side suffered its fourth defeat of the season against them.
