Though opener Devon Conway (25-ball 47) was adjudged player of the IPL final in Chennai Super Kings’s (CSK) five-wicket win over defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in Ahmedabad on Tuesday, it was Mumbai lad Shivam Dube (21-ball 32 not out, 2x6), who shouldered the responsibility perfectly to help CSK win their fifth IPL title.

While chasing a revised target of 171 in 15 overs, CSK lost their best finisher, skipper MS Dhoni (0) off the very first ball he faced, in the 13th over. However, Shivam Dube, who was at the non-striker’s end, revealed that he was confident of new batsman Ravindra Jadeja’s (6-ball 15 not out) ability to hit big sixes.
