The last two games ---SRH vs KKR and SRH vs CSK have proved yet again that there are no favorites and win/loss is more of a lottery. Rashid Khan virtually single handedly defeated KKR who were cruising to a easy win at half way stage at around 90 for 2.In this match i wonder if only Watson had got out to Bhuvi in his initial 3 overs in which he barely managed to survive unable to make runs then what would have happened?Further in hindsight Kane might have missed a trick or two not bringing spinners in the PP.Anyway Congrats to Dhoni & Co. coming after the ignominy of charges of 'fixing' and two yrs gap to claim the trophy for the 3rd time with help of dad's army while failing 3 times before in the finals with CSK core strength of youngsters available with him! While brand CSK gets a leg up but fact remains this win matters more to Dhoni personally to redeem his honor the way he has been finding himself in some sort of identity crisis in the Indian cricket after his retirement call from longer formats.Given the formidable emergence of wk batsman youngster Rishab Panth it remains to be seen how things pan out in coming seasons.
