Looking at the top 4 teams, I feel only MI is not dependent on any perticular player. All of their players had a hand in their wins. Also thay had quite a few close finishes, I won't say it was purely by lusk they won that matches. For DD they were consistant in early phase only because of KP & Viru. KKR is mostly depend on Gauti & 2 spinners and I won't say they are consistant than MI. They both have managed equal wins. Although CSK is always a dangerous team... they are not clicking as a unit. Only MI has the players which are proven match winners the only concern is that they are the most unpredictable side umoung the 4.

I just dont understand why morons call this as CSK's luck and blah blah blah..If you analyse all the teams in the competition, accoring to me, only Delhi and Kolkata deserved to be in Play-Offs. Teams like Mumbai,Banglore and Hyderabad were heavily dependent on 1/2 players and wanted them to perform everytime. Luckily for Mumbai, Malinga performed well and Rohit Sharma was decent and they are through. For bangalore Gayle won them half of the games, De-vilears the rest, and when both failed in the last game, they lost. For Hyderabad, inspite of Steyn's deadly bowling and Shikkar Dhavan's consistant batting, they lost games due to their pathetic ( I can't find a worse word) club-level fielding. Pune had none...No team effort and no individual stars and predictably finish last.
On the other hand, if you observe, CSK, RR and KXIP played more lika team, with everyone contributing at some point or other. And among them, CSK were clearly the best. I can't say if CSK deserved to play in play-offs..but I can vouch RCB just didn't deserve it.
Another point is the scheduling, Chennai finished the league games well before the rest and had to wait for other results. Had it been the other way round, with Bangalore finishing their games before Chennai and Chennai playing Punjab in their last outing, the same crowd would have praised Chennai for playing well when it matters. Its all phychological here.
Bottom line: There is no luck, the top 4 who qualified were the best among the 9.

but it definitely needs some luck to win in the final stages like a missed catch, missed run out or stumpings or wrong lbws etc..

I dont have any personal preference in case of ipl teams.But looking from a neutral point of view i think kkr wil win this one bcoz i believe gambhir is a great leader and he has taken the team to a different level ever since he took over its captaincy. Though dd has a superior unit, i think kkr will upset them not becoz of anything else, but becoz of gambhir
