It is wrong to state that SRH did not have superstars. Warner & Yuvi are big stars in their own right with Williamson, Morgan & Bolt sitting in the dugout but they did not allow their stardom to take center stage. That was the difference. They played as a team complementing each other & they played to win. In the league stage when they lost to Delhi with Warner missing out in fielding he vented his frustration at himself. Seeing this the other players would have got a sign that the skipper applies the same standards to himself & they rallied around him to make it count. In the play offs no one gave them a chance in any of the matches & the commentary box always said that the other team (KKR, Gujarat Lions & RCB) were better & more capable than SRH. But they turned the tables so smartly that RCB in the finals who were overwhelming favorites were left gasping for breath at the end. This is the stuff dreams are made of & champions in the making.

It is heartening to note the WIN of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Warner, the man who lead from the front along with his team, especially his Bowlers deserve all the credit. This may probably be a thing to remember, the underdog who fought for the semi finals has outclassed the Cricket world's batting KILLS. The unassuming and gentle nature of his team players , one wishes and loves them to win. Our other Bengal boy, Mustafizur should be welcommed to migrate to India.

No difference between sachin and Virat Kohli..
They play only in league matches and in final and semi final BIG ZERO... IN Final Virat made 50 odd runs just because of gayle released his pressure. IN case of sachin it was one man army so he used to get our for BIG zero in final and semi finals...
Both Playing for records rt ?? do not critised any good player like sachin in future..

Of course virat kohli is the best batsman now..but SRH and warner kept their cool and basics . The last four overs by buvi (highest wicket taker in this IPL)and fizur was bang on target . I know that Michael "whispering death" Holding , and wasim "massive swinger "akram are truly great . and are my still favourite bowlers. Once Cutting hit that six out of the stadium i very much thought only SRH will win. It was a wonderful match from both teams scoring 200 (but i can't see any point in your post) - (may be "silly point" and "wide" of the mark )
After the match is over and Virat dropped his shoulders due to loss,I find Virat has a long way to go and many miles to reach.David Warner as a Captain he is a tough man and executed superb plan.Not only his boys every one also wished him to win IPL trophy.He deserves for the dedicated effort

Mr. Krishnan, with due respect to your opinion, I seek to differ. Firstly, after a deeply disappointing loss such as this when your team has come back from the dead (winning 5 out of 5) & batted really well to set up the final (they were 140 for 1 in 13 overs), it is quite natural for Virat Kohli to drop his shoulders. However, he showed his dignity & panache by acknowledging the well deserved success of Sunrisers Hyderabad and in fact blaming himself for getting dismissed at a crucial stage of the match. Despite such grace and sportsmanship, if you still feel that he has a long way to go,then you are doing gross injustice on the Indian captain. Period.
