Chennai Super Kings 205 for 5 (Vijay 95, Hussey 63) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 147 for 8 by 58 runs
What would have been in the wish list of Chennai Super Kings before this final?
1) Win toss on a slow pitch. 2) Great start by the openers. 3) Remove Chris Gayle for a duck.
Ps: while we are it why not knock out AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli cheaply? Chennai produced a near-perfect game and mauled Royal Challengers Bangalore to lift their second IPL trophy. M Vijay has rarely converted his starts this IPL and Michael Hussey hasn't sparkled in the previous few games. So what they do on the day of the big finale? They amass a sizzling 159-run partnership to launch Chennai to a massive total at the Chidambaram Stadium. R Ashwin then derailed the chase by packing off Gayle for a duck in the first over. Game over.
