Mithun to Vijay, FOUR!!, Pomersbach misjudged that, but this is sublime from Vijay, strays a length ball on the pads, Vijay flicks it high over deep mid wicket, Pomersbach runs back, tries to catch it with both hands, but he cannot get there, just bounces in front of the ropes at deep mid wicket
Mithun to Vijay, FOUR!!, rubbish ball from Mithun, low full toss outside off, Vijay gets underneath the delivery, thumps it over extra cover for another boundary, good use of the bottom hand by Vijay
Syed Mohammad to Vijay, 1 run, easy way to get to a blazing FIFTY!!, low full toss outside off, punched to long off, this is his 5th IPL FIFTY!! and also the second fastest by a Chennai batsman this season
Syed Mohammad to Michael Hussey, FOUR!!, he has bisected the gap beautifully here, another low full toss, Michael Hussey comes on the frontfoot, angles the bat and caresses it to wide long off, Tiwary gave chase but he could not get there
Aravind to Vijay, SIX!!, the carnage continues, in the slot for Vijay, he swings through the line, hammers it over deep mid wicket, that went many a mile
Aravind to Vijay, SIX!!, that is massive, short of length outside off, Vijay latches onto that, stays on the front foot, swings the bat cleanly, launches it into the stands at deep mid wicket
Zaheer to Vijay, FOUR!!, both Agarwal and Gayle were mere spectators, they just did not pick the ball, length ball just outside off, Vijay angles the bat and guides it past the gap at short third and backward point, goes into the gap for a boundary
Vettori to Vijay, FOUR!!, the time-out only enhances the carnage, tossed up outside off, Vijay dances down the track and looks to thrash it over cover, gets too close to the pitch, slices it past Gayle at backward point for a boundary

Syed Mohammad to Michael Hussey, out Caught by Mithun at long on!! Ends one of the best opening partnerships that one will ever see in the IPL! Another full toss outside off, Michael Hussey skips down the track, drags the swat from outside off stump, cross bats the thwack to long on, Mithun runs back a touch and takes it easily, what a knock this has been from Mr. Cricket. Michael Hussey c Mithun b Syed Mohammad 63(45) [4s-3 6s-3]
Gayle to Dhoni, SIX!!, that is not the start Gayle wanted, he wanted to bowl it quick, but drags it short, Dhoni rocks back and crunches the pull to deep square leg
Gayle to Dhoni, SIX!!, when he hits it, it stays hit, in the slot, Dhoni gets underneath the delivery and smokes it to long on, what immense power from the bottom hand of MS
Aravind to Vijay, out Caught by Vettori!! Sad way to end what has been a brilliant innings! He has run out of steam here! Aravind comes round the wicket and bowls a full delivery outside off, Vijay looks to carve it over extra cover, but ends up getting a toe-end, miscues it to extra cover where Vettori hangs onto it.

Gayle to Albie Morkel, out Caught by Kohli at long off!! This is excellent bowling from Gayle!

CSK all the way! de Villiers tries to confuse Jakati by moving back and forward sideways, Jakati bowls one slower through the air, pitches on middle and turns across, de Villiers was early into the pull and the ball thuds into de Villiers' thigh guard, but he was well behind in his crease, the ball would have certainly gone on to hit the off stump. de Villiers lbw b Jakati 18(12) [4s-3]
Raina to Kohli, SIX!!, Raina starts with a loose ball, too short, Kohli gets into the right position and pulls it over deep mid wicket, Bravo was at the edge of the ropes, he timed his jump well but the ball just eluded him, 100 marks for the effort
Jakati to Pomersbach, out Caught&Bowled!! The Challengers are falling like a pack of cards here, that's what they call chinaman, pitches outside leg and turns across slightly, Pomersbach was looking to drive it on the up to the left of the bowler but ends up lobbing a safe catch to him, Jakati on song. Pomersbach c and b Jakati 2(3)
Raina to Kohli, out Lbw!! That's probably the final nail in the coffin, Raina is delighted and why not! That one turned in sharply and rapped Kohli on the pad as he looks to turn it across, he isn't happy with Rauf's finger going up, but that was bound to happen, the crowd erupt as the most consistent batsman of the Royal Challengers after Gayle departs. Kohli lbw b Raina 36(32) [4s-1 6s-1]
Ashwin to Vettori, out Caught&Bowled!! Well well well, they are falling apart very quickly, aren't they? Vettori tries to smother the spin by putting a long stride forward, looks to turn it across and gets a leading edge straight back to the bowler, softest of dismissals. Vettori c and b Ashwin 0(1)
Raina to Mithun, FOUR!!, short and stays a bit low, Mithun goes back and cuts it behind point, there is no fielder out there, not much of a worry for the Super Kings
Raina to Mithun, FOUR!!, Mithun gets down and swings it with the turn, Bravo was running wide from deep mid wicket, the ball bounces and goes past Bravo for a boundary
Raina to Tiwary, FOUR!!, Tiwary punches this one off the backfoot with an open face and the ball runs away to the point boundary, 15 runs came off that over
Dwayne Bravo to Mithun, out Caught by Bollinger at long on!! Wicket No. 7... Dwayne Bravo bangs it short, Mithun goes for the tailender pull, strikes it well but straight to Bollinger at long on, he has safe hands, won't miss those. Mithun c Bollinger b Dwayne Bravo 11(8) [4s-2]
Dwayne Bravo to Tiwary, SIX!!, Finally, a six from the willow of Tiwary! It was a slower one, he's getting too predictable with these, Tiwary spotted it and swung it over long on, the ball eludes the fielder
Bollinger to Zaheer, FOUR!!, Zaheer backs away and carves it over extra cover, gets it in the gap piercing the two fielders in the deep
Jakati to Zaheer, 2 runs, catch dropped!! Zaheer comes down the track and lofts one to long off, Ashwin was a bit late to run forward, bends down but drops it
Jakati to Zaheer, FOUR!!, Zaheer backs away a tad and smacks it down the ground, straight over the bowler's head
Bollinger to Zaheer, 2 runs, catch dropped!! Zaheer goes hard at it again, the ball was landing down the throat of Abhinav Mukund at long off, he bends down but the ball pops out of his hand, Dhoni doesn't have a happy look on his face
Bollinger to Zaheer, out Caught by Michael Hussey at square of the wicket!! Short ball, Zaheer slaps it over cover, but an easy catch to Hussey at sweeper cover, wicket No. 8 and it's Zaheer who is making the walk back. Zaheer c Michael Hussey b Bollinger 21(21) [4s-2]
Raina to Tiwary, SIX!!, Tiwary leans and lofts it handsomely over long off, just about manages to clear the ropes
Raina to Tiwary, SIX!!, RCB OUTPLAYED! A six but CSK win their 2nd consecutive IPL trophy, aren't they happy? Fireworks all around, they have defended their crown at home, handshakes all around. Well, about the last ball, Tiwary came down the wicket and lofted it over deep extra cover
