On Sunday, the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) came to an end as Sunrisers Hyderabad take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the tournament final in Chennai.
The final was not a run fest by any stretch of the imagination, as the KKR bowlers put in a real team effort to knock over SRH for just 113 in the first innings and set up an 8-wicket win. It was a real task to decide the Man of the Match, as nearly everyone stepped up.
Here, TSN lists the players who have won Man of the Match in each IPL final.

Interestingly, every single final of the IPL has had a different Man of the Match. Only three bowlers; Anil Kumble, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult have won the award. Kumble is also the only player from the losing side of an IPL final to win Man of the Match.
