CSK beats Warriors to lift the Champions League T20 2010

Chennai Super Kings Champions of the Champions! 
Well Well Well it all comes to an end on a good note! Chennai Super Kings prove their supremacy in T20 cricket by winning the Champions League T20 2010. Not only have they won the trophy but they have purely dominated in all the departments. Ashwin wins the golden ball. Murali Vijay wins the golden bat and MS Dhoni lifts the trophy.


Batting first Warriors could just managed 128 with Jacobs again batting well for his 34 off 21 balls. Muralitharan took 3 wickets while Ashwin managed to take 2 wickets and win the Golden Ball (highest wicket taker in this CLT20).

In reply, CSK never looked to be losing as they comprehensively outsmarted Warriors by scoring 132 for 2 in 19 overs. Hussey scored an unbeaten 51 while Murali Vijay scored a blistering 58 to win Golden Bat (highest run scored in this CLT20).

This is the last time the CSK players are playng together as IPL next year will have new auctions and teams will have new players. CSK has made the most in last 3 years: 3 times reached semis of IPL and won the IPL once. Featured in Champions league once and won it in style! Another feather in the cap of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
