Dhoni is not giving chance to the local players. There are talents in the TN team but they have not been used them properly since last IPL series because of Dhoni politics. There should be a rule to use atleast 4 players from local state like 4 Foreigners max allowed. If not then what is the point to call as Chennai Super Kings, we can call as Dhoni Super King. Dhoni should have used Ashwin atleast one over. It is a big mistake. Also I don't know why Badhri always is a last batsman.
Sachin's Contribution to Mumbai Indian's victory: 1. Judged the pitch perfectly and understood that a big score was not easy. 2. Batted sensibly and held the innings together. If he had got out throwing his bat around, Mumbai batting would have most likely collapsed. His innings made sure MI made a decent total, if not huge. (Abhishek Nayar's innings made it possible to raise the MI total beyond reach taking into account the prevailing conditions). 3. Used and rotated bowlers well.

Sachin's innings clearly shows that it not just slambang type of game. You also need to play according to the condition. Sachin placed his innings perfectly when he noticed that the ball is not coming on bat nicely.
Q1) Why was Murali dropped? (The spinners in all other 3 innings have done so well and any day Murali is better than Tharanga) Q2) Why was Ashwin not given a single over? (R Ashwin is the second highest wicket taker in the domestic circuit last year. He is also in T30 probables while Joginder is not even there) Q3) What was Flintoff's role at No.4? To build a partnership or to hit/ smack the ball? If the role was the former, then Badri or Dhoni would have been a better choice. Q4) Why did Dhoni not cross over when Badri holed out to deep long on? Q5) Why was Thushara not sent ahead of Joginder in battibng. Thushara has very big hitting capabilities. I am deeply disappointed with Dhoni. If he continues like this, he will be acused of bias and not inefficiency.

(1)The reason for dropping spinner maybe due to the overcast and swinging condition.Short boundry.Sachin's presence (2)The same reason as above. (3)Smack the ball. He got injured by on eof the yorkers of Malinga and hence the hurry to go out of the ground :-) (4)Big mistake by Dhoni. (5)That would have been better.
Hmmm.. So Dhoni is just a human and can make mistakes...

SRK has indirectly duped Saurav....he aligned with dirty tricks played by Buchanan....if he wanted Saurav out he should have announced it straightaway...why this ridiculous proposition of a 4-captain theory which was all a hoax by Buchanan...ridiculous..they could have gone the straight way of Blr and Hyd teams to strip their local icons off captaincy..why play this dirty game? On the other hand, Bongs deserve this coz they won't accept someone removing their icon from captaincy,....they are never mature and maybe this was a trick played by SRK to douse the stupid passions of bengalis...
Dhobi's head has now come to the ground - bahut uchal raha tha....why was Albie Morkel dropped? Why no tamilians in Chennai team? Dhobi has become too arrogant and he reaped the resutls of that.

Sachin was a big flop in captaining India. Where was Sachin last year in IPL? You bunch of immature cricket watchers- one loss and you guys start barking. One win and you guys will again start pampering
