CHENNAI ARE BACK

Great News for all CSK's fans,

Chennai Super Kings are back to their winning ways after defeating Daredevils in a thrilling run chase which went on till the last ball in Feroz Shah Kotla ground in Delhi.

After a dismal performance in 3 consecutive matches it was time that this team meant business.There were as many as 4 changes made to the team that lost the last match to the Deccan Chargers with M Ntni,A Srikkanth,P Patel and J Sharma giving way to L Balaji,P Amarnath, V Sivaramkrishnan and Sri Lankan C Kapukedgra

Dhoni as usual won the toss but opted to chase on a flat track conducive for stroke play.Daredevils were off to a flyer but a timely yorker from Goni saved the day for CSK with Sehwag's framework shattered.A B De Villere's was out the first ball from a peach of a ball by A Morkel.S Dhawan and G Gambhir had a great stand which enabled DD to a score of 187.

CSK's innings began with a flourishing pull shot from Vidyut off Mcgrath and went on and on.It was the 50+ stand for the opening pair after the departure of M Hayden.Dhoni came one down and stayed till the 18th over and displayed maturity in his batting.However,Raina didn't last long and was followed a cheap dismissial of S Fleming who was the innings top scorer with 44.A Morkel provided the fireworks lighting up the sky with some breathtaking shots which enabled CSK to stay on course.However,Yo Mahesh turned around the tide after taking 2 wickets in the penultimate over and conceding just 9 runs.Now 15 runs was required of the last over with S Badrinath and Goni batting.Pakistan skipper S Malik was given the task of containing them.Here's the ball by ball analysis of the last over.

!st Ball - Goni hit a six from a short pitched slower delivery
2nd - Tries to clear mid-on but takes a edge and goes for 4 through the 3rd man
3rd - Takes a single
4th - Badri chips the ball over covers and gets 2
5th - Dot ball
6th - Hits over squarish long-on and gets 2
