It was the best match played ever by Dhoni and CSK in all the three IPL put together. CSK still has bowling woes with Gony pitching the ball short too often. He should bowl fuller length.On the other hand KKR were in full control of the game till the 12-13th over when suddenly Dhoni gale-storm(well supported by Badri)swept KKR away so much so they were forced into making wrong batting strategy. It seemed as though Manoj Tiwari & W/Shah were given licence to do a 'la-Gili' type onslaught which was a blunder. These inexperienced local lads cannot replicate Gili after all!Later on when O/Shah got out KKR virtually pressed the panic button and once Dada got out it was virtually all over for KKR.Unless Dada performs,KKR is in for big trouble again.
Hemang Badani who was once called Beven of Indian Cricket is on bench. Now thats pathetic. Its like Bradman out of Ashes Series. Hemang should be made Captain of Chennai Super Kings cause of his Vast Experience and Talent.

Many Ganguly fans are saying he is old now in these forums and should retired. Well Hayden and Gilchrist are nearly of same age and have performed very well in both IPL's, so they are not old yet.
Infact Hayden and Gilchrist have retired from all forms of the game and dont even play domestic cricket and yet they perform in IPL, Hayden with 761 runs averages 54 in 16 matches of IPL with 7 fifties with strike rate of 144 and Gilchrist with 931 runs averages 32 with 6 fifties and one hundred @ strike rate of 144, while Ganguly with 538 runs averages 23 with 3 fifties and a strike rate of 104.
Thats the difference between gr8 batsmens and medicores. Gr8 batsmen have scored consistently in TESTS with average of near 50, and in ODIS above 40 and now they are showing same thing in 20/20.
Gilchrist, Hayden, Warne all retired from all forms of the games, but yet are performing. While Ganguly who retired in Oct 2008, played IPL 2009 and realized he was searching for fast bowlers deliveries decided to play domestic cricket to remain fit and be in touch with batting, yet he cannot score quickly. Infact after his comeback in ODI;s ganguly's strike rate was around 4 runs an over in those 1500 runs he scored after his comeback.
If you look at Hayden and Gilchrist, even though they have retired from all forms of the games and dont play domestic cricket, yet they have scored and been match winners in both the previous IPL's.
Hand and Eye combination players like Ganguly dont last long in scoring quickly as age catches up and slow down their reflexes.
This can be proved that during his comeback in ODI;s in 2007, he scored against WI in India, SL in India, then in WC scored a very slow 60 against Bangladesh in 129 balls, and another 80 against bermuda in around 110 balls. He couldnt score against SA in Ireland in 3 matches and neither against Aust in 5 ODI;s in India, a single fifty and then against Pakistan in India when Shoaib, Gul etc were fit and bowling in ODIs again he flopped miserably. In all 12 matches against SA, Aust and Pak he had a single fifty and averaging less than 20 !!!. This was after his comeback and it shows how fast bowlers exploited him even during his comeback phase. In tests he did score against pak and aust on indian flat pitches.
But If Hyden and Raina get back to the form there were in IPL 2 we don't need to worry much since Albie Morkal back to form and along with Kemp they hit as hard as MS Dhoni in the death overs. I think we should play T.Perera in place of Murali and S.Jagati for M.Gony as second spinner and P.Patel will take place of MS Dhoni.
BOTH ARE SELFISH, ARROGANT PERSONS WHO CARE FOR THEIR INTERSTS THAN FOR THE COUNTRY BUT FAKE AS GENTLEMEN WHICH THERE ARE NOT..... HAPPY TO ALL THE INDIANS THAT THESE FELLOWS GETS THRASHED EVEN AGAINST MALAYSIA OR FIJI ETC BECAUSE AT LEAST THERE ARE SOME INDIANS IN THAT COUNTRY ALSO UNLIKE THESE TERRORISTS.

Are you the same Rahul Bajaj who wrote crap here 4 years ago? If yes, you may remember me. And if not, anyway, either way you're stupid and i feel sorry for you. :(
