IPL 3 final at the packed to capacity D Y Patil stadium was a cricketers’ delight. It was nothing less than a clash of the titans. CSK played consistently well from the start with Raina accumulating 57 off 35 balls and remained not out thanks to MI who dropped two of his catches on 13 and 28. He was instrumental in adding precious 110 to CSK’s score board in the last 10 overs. It was clearly CSK’s day at the IPL 2010 finals as they managed to put a target of 169 runs before MI. The IPL 3 winner CSK enjoyed this sweet success that could not make it to IPL first season at the hands of Rajasthan Royals.
IPL 3 final at the D Y Patil stadium could not go to Mumbai Indians as the team found it difficult from the very start to chase the victory target of 169 runs. Sachin Tendulkar, captain MI scored a decent 48 with his right arm that had 5 stitches. The middle order of MI failed dramatically and much was left for Kieron Pollard but that was too late for MI who needed 55 runs off 18 balls. Pollard could not survive Hayden’s ball and got caught by Morkel on 27 off 10 balls. Shikhar Dhawan was dismissed at 0 and Nayar was run out on 27. Even S Tiwary got out at a duck.
The trophy of IPL 3 final went to CSK who emerged as real kings by registering a 22 runs victory over Mumbai Indians. Captain Mahender Singh Dhoni also became the 5th Indian to score 1500 runs in T20 cricket. Suresh Raina also completed his 1500 runs on his 57 run trail.
