In fact, De Villiers (512 runs) and Gayle (450 runs) are two of the three batsmen (Shane Watson of Rajasthan Royals being the other) to have struck a century in this edition of the IPL. - Then how about Mc Cullum?

Mc Cullum was the first to score a century in this IPL.
All of this is a staged circus just to show that MS Dhoni is the master tactician who can lead CSK to the title after facing strenous hardships. This I say assuming Srini still has control. If baton and control has passed on to Dalmiya then RCB can win as well. These IPL matches are staged orchestras without any cricketing excitement. It has been glamourised and advertised so much that genuine fans of cricket see it inspite of knowing in the back of their minds that these contests are staged and the financial muscle and clout of the franchisees decides some of the key matches where performers underperform and some obscure players come out of th e blue with matchwinning performances. Gradually the genuine cricket fan may abstain from watching these matches
In their last fixture with MI the CSK bowlers Nehra and M. Sharma gave too many runs away in the pinch overs by their injudicious bowling. What is critical at that is to restrict the opponent's scoring to the minimum. I hope the Captain and CSK bowling coach will give special attention to this.

Mohit throughout this IPL pooly performed and as Batsman Raina, Dhoni and Jadeja also poorly performed
