Chennai Superkings are the IPL3 champs



What a finish to the all exciting season of IPL3.
Chennai Super Kings( CSK) have been crowned as DLF IPL-3 Champions after they defeated Mumbai Indians by 22 runs. Mahender Singh Dhoni, the Captain of CSK won the toss and decided to bat first. His decision proved fruitful and Mumbai Indians were not able to chase the target of 169 runs. In reply to CSK’s 168 runs, Sachin’s men were able to make only 148 runs at the loss of 7 wickets in 50 overs. Sachin’s innings of 48 off 45 balls also went in vain.
