2013 IPL Winner Team, Man of The Match, Purple Cap & Orange Cap Winners with Prize Money

It was actually the sixth edition of IPL when we saw the rise of Mumbai Indians, which then went on to become one of the most successful teams in the history of the Indian Premier League. Well, a few other teams were also doing good, like CSK, RR, and KKR, but still, it was Mumbai Indias that won the tournament, and today we’ll talk about how they did it, what went down and things like that. So yeah, let’s get started with just that.

Final Match Scoreboard

• Mumbai Indians – 148/9 (20 overs)
• Chennai Super Kings – 125/9 (20 overs)

So, the final match was literally like watching a cricket saga unfold right before our eyes. The Mumbai Indians, with Rohit Sharma at the helm, you know, the guy’s a wizard with strategies and all, squared off against the Chennai Super Kings. Oh, and CSK? They’re led by none other than the legend, MS Dhoni. Yeah, the hype was real; everyone was on the edge of their seats expecting a nail-biter. Mumbai Indians went all in with their best, setting a target that was pretty decent, 148 runs for 9 in the 20 overs they had at bat. Chennai Super Kings, with all the firepower at their disposal, took to the chase but could only muster up 125 runs for 9, missing the mark by 23 runs. And just like that, Mumbai Indians snagged their first-ever IPL trophy, proving they were not just participants but true contenders.

Winner Team Captain – Rohit Sharma

Talking about captains, Rohit Sharma wasn’t just a captain; he was the captain for Mumbai Indians. The man’s got this aura, right? Under his captaincy, MI didn’t just play, they played to win, showcasing a blend of guts and glory that took them all the way. His knack for making on-the-spot decisions and keeping cool when the heat was on? Absolutely top-notch. It’s no wonder his leadership is often highlighted as a game-changer. Leading MI in the 2013 IPL, Sharma wasn’t just playing cricket, he was making history, turning the team into champions.

Man Of The Match: Kieron Pollard

So, guess who stole the show? Yep, it was none other than Kieron Pollard, grabbing the Man of the Match with his jaw-dropping innings, a whopping 60 not out off just 32 balls. His batting was nothing short of a powerhouse performance, giving Chennai Super Kings a run for their money. Pollard’s innings? Pure magic, a blend of brute force and impeccable timing, catapulting Mumbai Indians right to the victory stand.

Purple Cap Winner: Dwayne Bravo

And then, there’s Dwayne Bravo from Chennai Super Kings, walking away with the Purple Cap. Why, you ask? Oh, just for being the top wicket-taker of the tournament with a stunning 32 wickets under his belt. Bravo’s knack for snagging crucial wickets and his killer death bowling spells? Unmatched.

Orange Cap Winner: Michael Hussey

The year before, it was Chris Gayle who scored 733 runs, and this time in IPL 2013, it was the explosive player from the Chennai Super Kings who scored 733 runs, and we are talking about Michael Hussey here. What a form he was in throughout the tournament, so no wonder why he did super well compared to any other batsman in the entire tournament.

Fair Play Award

And can you guess who got the Fair Play award in the IPL 2013? Yeah, it was the runner-up team CSK, that’s who. But why? Well, it wasn’t the first time CSK won the Fair Play award, but this time they really showed the true nature and spirit of the cricket sport, and that’s why the critics decided that CSK is the best contender for this award in IPL 2013.

Prize Money Of Winning Team

Just like the previous IPL season, the prize money for the winning team was the same amount, and this year, it was Mumbai Indians that got the huge amount of INR 10 Crores as prize money. But yeah, don’t think like CSK was left empty-handed, you know, feeling like it was for nothing. Surely, that wasn’t the case because they also ended up getting half of what Mumbai Indians got, yeah, a whopping INR 5 Crores.
