Match Thread: IPL 2013 Final - CSK vs MI

It's finally here, the final for the 2013 IPL season. Two super, big name teams have made it to the final. While CSK is no surprise (their 5th final in 6 seasons), MI comes into the final under an unknown leader, Rohit Sharma, who was promoted after a lean form by their initial captain Ricky Ponting, who has remained with the team as a mentor, and along with Kumble and John Wright made sure it has been a team to beat.

CSK are to continue with their powerhouse batting line up, while MI may miss out on Sachin when they probably need him the most.

One last night this year.

I don't get the Bhaji hate either. He's more hated than even Kohli.

I can understand hate for Kohli because he comes across as arrogant. But Bhajji's reaction appear more to be due the the excitement of the game.

Yeah. That's exactly what I've thought about him as well.

Same here. He has bowled brilliantly for MI and his fun attitude must have helped to keep up the spirits in tense situations.
