I would accept, RCB as a champion side only if they win with Gayle getting out in single digits. And MI as a champion side only if they win with Malinga going for 10 runs a over wickeless.
Expect Team CSK taken on Team KKR in the FINALS. Cricket is after all a team game.
Its a news to me...from TOI article by Deepan Joshi: Don't underestimate the LBW law as in Bradman's time you could only be given out if the ball pitched and hit in line with the stumps and then went on to hit them. This automatically rules out the in-swinger, the in-cutter, and the off-spinning deliveries that pitch outside but come in enough to hit in line. This is as potent a weapon for the bowler as the catch or even more as you can pad up to any ball outside off and get away. The batsman also gets the advantage when he is unsure which way the ball would go as he can again pad up and nullify the in-coming as well as the out-going delivery. Bradman was out leg before just six times in his career. The argument that he was so good that he was rarely struck in front of the wicket does not hold as he was bowled 23 times.
As long as Srinivasan and Srikanth are there..CSK will win all versions of IPL.. Ashwin will soon become Captain and Badrinath vice captain of Indian team!

CSK should bat first and play natural game. If they field first, Gayle will score 150 runs and RCB will get total 250 runs and CSK will be nervous and lose wickets quickly. Secondly, Dhoni, Moerkel, etc should bat up the order.
