IPL 2017: Full list of award winners

The tenth edition of the Indian Premier League has finally come to an end, and the deserving Mumbai Indians have won the tournament for a record third time in the history of the competition. For the Rising Pune Supergiant, it was a heartbreaking moment, as the Supergiant could not quite rise through to the top on the most crucial of occasions, coming home short by just one run.

The packed crowd, though got what they deserved  40 overs of excitement, entertainment, quality cricket and commitment. All these factors were there quite evident on the pitch where Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant squared up. In the end, it did not even matter for the Supergiant as they lost the nail-biter.

Here’s a compilation of the summary of the post-match presentation ceremony:

Man of the Match – Krunal Pandya–

The all-rounder was probably the best player on the pitch by a fair margin, and being on the winning team certainly helped his case for the Man of the Match trophy. Pandya scored a vital 47, although he could not contribute with a wicket in their defence.

Most Valuable Player: (Ben Stokes- Rising Pune Supergiant) 

The most valuable player (MVP) of the tournament went to Rising Pune Supergiants’ English all-rounder Ben Stokes, who has been one of the key pillars of strength for the side from Pune scoring 316 runs and picking up 12 wickets in the tournament.

Orange Cap:(David Warner- Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The Orange Cap for the leading run-scorer in the tenth edition of the IPL goes to Sunrisers Hyderabad’s David Warner, who amassed over 641 runs in the tournament.

Purple Cap:(Bhuvaneshwar Kumar- Sunrisers Hyderabad)

The Purple Cap for the leading wicket-taker in the tenth edition of the IPL was earned by David Warner’s teammate and Sunrisers Hyderabad’s opening bowler Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, who has picked up 26 wickets. He thus became the first bowler to win two back to back Purple caps.

Most Sixes award :(Glenn Maxwell- Kings XI Punjab)

The most sixes award was handed over to Kings XI Punjab’s Glenn Maxwell for hitting the most number of sixes in the tenth edition of the IPL – 26.

Emerging Player: (Basil Thampi- Gujarat Lions) 

The Emerging Player of IPL 10 went to Gujarat Lions’ young fast-bowler Basil Thampi, who has bowled his hearts out in the tournament picking up 11 wickets. He impressed one and all despite the fact that his team couldn’t progress beyond the league stages.

Fastest fifty: (Sunil Narine- Kolkata Knight Riders)

Sunil Narine of Kolkata Knight Riders was awarded the fastest fifty for his swashbuckling knock against the team with the wooden spoon Royal Challengers Bangalore which came off just 15 balls.
