and RCB were packed with talent..DD failed because of failure of Sehwag (best batsman but worse captain) to utilize his weapons properly..he made worst selection and chose fielding instead of batting against chennai..RCB failed because they depend too much gayle and kolhi..who could not perform all the time..

As much as Sehwag's failure, I am shocked at the foolish decision of dropping their best bowler for such a critical match.

there was no way sehwag and kohli could survive in the indian team if they 'came in the way' of csk's bid to enter the finals. Gambhir took a chance, and see what will happen to him going forward.
For a Team to win it is important that the captain shows some consistency and command ! Ironically Harbhajan failed in both the counts. The fact that he bowled only 3 overs in the crucial eliminetor against CSK shows that he is unsure of his bowling. This was reflected on the team which was great on paper but showed inconsistency all through the tournament-even when they were winning !

Infact, Harbhajan should be praised for knowing his skills (inability to bowl well during crunch situations) and accepting it.

yeah he is very truthful and straight forward in his approach. Bowl few overs and then also blame the pitch, the failure of his batsmen etc in the post match interview

well it also remains to be known whteher Harbhajan was playing as a bowler, batsment or a non-playing captain

contd.... MI/RCB are full_time_chokers. Even if there are 11 performers, they manage to fail all at once when it maters.
