Chennai Super Kings win IPL 4

Well Well....Chennai Super Kings have been outstanding throughout this tournament..They in fact deserved to win this tournament...The side was balanced...Batting and bowling were superb....Fielding...goodness me...What a superb fielding...One of the best you might have ever witnessed...The Royal Challengers Bengaluru were too dependent on Chris Gayle....Since his arrival The RCB won 7 out of their 7 matches....Chennai had a great home record winning all the 7 matches...The Chennai were never dependent on a certain guy..Whenever one guy fails;the other guy compensates...Murali Vijay who was in patches performed very well...Vikay scored 95 runs of just 52 balls...Mr.Cricket,Mike Hussey scored 63 runs of 45 balls..The opening duo (Vijay and Husssey)shared a sizzling 159 run partnership off just 14.5 overs...Dhoni won the toss and chose to bat that would help spinners a lot...The RCB's would have never expected such a start in whiche Gayle was gone for a 3 ball duck...Saurabh Tiwary hit a few lusty blows but it was too late for the RCB team...Ashwin was the pick off the bowlers..Even Jakati was among the wickets...Totally it was a team effort from CSK which won them the grand finale....


                                  Brief Scores: CSK : 205/5 in 20 overs (M.Vijay 95;M.Hussey 63;MS Dhoni 22;Gayle                    2 for 34;Aravind 2 for 39)
                                                        RCB : 147/8 in 20 overs (S.Tiwary 42 n.o.;V.Kolhi 35;Z.Khan 21;R.Aswin 3 for 16Jakati 2 for 21)
