IPL T20 - Final Rajasthan Royals Vs Chennai Super Kings

So, now IPL is over and man, no one can deny the event was a blockbuster. All the matches were played seriously and no team at any point of time wanted to give away anything. Who would have thought, when the tournament started, Rajasthan will take the trophy and Warne's team will make every team look so small in front of them. They were for sure underdogs when tournament took off.
Final match ended in a very exciting fashion and match was fought till the last bowl. Every shot and wickets were cheered. Match was so exciting balance of the match shifted from one team to another very frequently. Both teams were always on their toes. Though Chennai could manage only 162 but they fought well to prove that the score was enough to win. Only things which cost Chennai was the missed catches and some important misfieldings. Rajasthan could only manage victory on the last ball of the match. Tournament showed how good captain Warney is ... and he deserved the captaincy of Australia during his playing days in International cricket. But his off-field activities denied this.
IPL was a great event which brought all the International players on one stage, also India showed the world how powerful cricketing nation they are not only in terms of money but also the followers. Today, we can proudly say "India is True Superpower in Cricket".
Tournament is over, but the wait has already started for the next tournament. Even ICC has agreed to scedule the International Cricket to make way for IPL tournament. Hope the next tournament will be even more grand and better.
