Today 27th May 2012, the talk of the day is IPL Finals- Chennai Super Kings Vs Kolkata Knight Riders.
Will the defending champions (CSK) win this IPL for the third time?
We've gotta wait till 11.30pm to know that!
Two weeks back we never expected CSK to be in the playoffs. But thanks to Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab, who benevolently lost the match they played, and cleared the path for CSK. A special thanks to Deccan Chargers who got fully charged to win their last two games!
Getting into the playoffs was one task, but winning consecutive games is another hassle! To get into the finals, CSK had to win 2 consecutive games and yes, they did that!!
The first game with Mumbai Indians: thanks to Dhoni who finally stood up to take away the match from the hands of Mumbai.
The second game against the Delhi Daredevils, was a full throttle and a very memorable one, as I saw the match live at M.A.Chidambaram stadium! I went with two of my friends: a girl who got real crazy and wanted to dance for every single ball that was hit and a guy who was patient enough to deal with all the craziness that was happening around. At the end of the day, CSK reserved their spot in the finals without much trouble (Thanks to Mr.Monk who scored a century!) :)
So, today is a big match! Lets keep our fingers crossed..
P.S: I had CSK in my mind and sketched the above lion. Let the lion roar again!
