- Mitchell Johnson – 8.5/10:
Man for the big occasions, Big Mitch was at it again as his 3-26 in 4 overs won Mumbai Indians the match. He held his nerves superbly in the last over and didn’t get distracted by the mounting pressure. Not to forget, it was he who began the rut by sending back a well set Ajinkya Rahane. Then dismissing Manoj Tiwary was another setback for Pune. He stepped up when the Western Australian was needed the most.
