CSK has scored the highest total of the tournament every second season. 240,246 and 222 in 2008,2010 and 2012 respectively. Vijay scored a century in the last two while Hussey scored a century in the first.
The 86 run win is also the largest margin of victory this season. What a moment to achieve it!!
With the win, we have entered our fourth final in five seasons.
Our record in IPL knockout matches stand 7-2 in 9 matches. 2008 final and 2009 S/Fs are the ones we lost.
Yusuf Pathan played an important role in our defeat in 2008..
in 2012 we are playing finals against a team which has yusuf Pathan & he played well in his last match :shaking:
Murali Vijay played an important role in last year's final against RCB. Now KKR are up against a team which has Murali Vijay who performed well in the last match. :)
Idhaiyellam paatha thozhil panna mudiyuma boss? Let the best team win.
"Chennai is a very balanced side and they sneaked into the playoff with a mission. They are a tough team balanced in both, in the bowling and batting line up. They have eight batsmen who can rotate the strike well. They struggled through the league system but came good at the business end, which is the sign of champions and that is what they are." - Eric Simons, Coach of Delhi Daredevils.

Morne Morkel to cheer for Super Kings: Now that Delhi Daredevils are out of the IPL after losing to Chennai Super Kings, Morkel said that he would be supporting the latter in the final against Knight Riders. "One reason for supporting CSK will be Albie [Morne's brother, who plays for Super Kings]," Morkel toldiplt20.com. Also, we lost to KKR in Pune [in the first qualifier], so I am supporting CSK all the way, and I am hoping they lift the trophy."

Of course he supported us in the last match too :wink:

Only CSK can now beat CSK
By Jaideep Varma and Jatin Thakkar
There is no doubt that the best two teams of IPL 2012 are now in the final. The most interesting thing about this is that KKR have been steadily maintaining their supremacy while CSK have fast-tracked their way through to the same kind of supremacy in the last two matches.
At the end of the league phase, KKR’s Team IMPACT was 1.94 while CSK’s was 1.83 (and they were much closer to the bottom than the top in team standings). But in the three playoff matches (where KKR played one, CSK two), KKR’s Team IMPACT was 2.17 whereas CSK’s has been a massive 2.49. That’s a considerable difference – and something that should disturb KKR. CSK are a side transformed in the playoffs – it is, after all, familiar territory for them. Not just because the matches are now on home turf but because CSK’s great success in the last 3 years has come because of raising their game (often unrecognisably, especially as a team combination) during the knockout phases. This year, they are actually doing this even more comprehensively. With just one more match to go, it is hard to see them falter now.
But KKR still have a lot going for them, as these numbers below reveal. Even after accounting for the big match performances in the playoffs so far, KKR are still slightly ahead of CSK. This should give them heart. But there are some warning signs contained within these numbers.
Despite having a slightly higher Batting IMPACT. KKR’s batting failure rate is 14% higher than CSK’s. This, coupled with KKR’s dependence on Gambhir (19% of KKR’s batting impact in IPL 2012 has come from Gambhir – the highest proportion this year in any team) which is exemplified by the fact that the next highest impact KKR batsman is 57% below Gambhir, does not augur well for them. As it is, KKR is a team of all-rounders and not specialised talent – this has served them well to reach this stage, but against a team like CSK, they could miss the X-factor required to surge ahead – only Gambhir, Narine and on the evidence of the last match, Yusuf Pathan, can really provide that. Kallis is always a steady contributor but not likely to take the match away. Conversely, CSK has at least 6 players who are capable of this – Vijay, Hussey, Raina, Dhoni, Bravo and Morkel. Badrinath played a crucial role in the first eliminator and Ashwin has shown signs of getting his mojo back in the last match.
Bowling is the one definite weakness CSK have, and this is where they could falter – if they do not stay disciplined, as their margin for error is very low. It is arguable though whether KKR have the talent to take full advantage of this weakness, given their lack of specialised talent. Of course, if it is their day, and their all-round talent uncharacteristically (for all-round talent typically) clicks together in one department, then they could take full advantage so they have to look at that as an opportunity. However, CSK’s bowling in the 2 playoff matches has been the most transformed of all their functions, suggesting a mental discipline already in place.
KKR’s bowling impact is spread over the efforts of Narine (2.87, 14 matches), Shakib Al Hasan (2.24, 7) and Balaji (2.23, 8). CSK depend on Hilfenhaus hugely (2.47, 8); however, Ashwin (1.78, 17) and Bravo (1.47, 17) have given good performances in the playoffs.
In this IPL, interestingly, both teams have last-over 5-wicket wins over each other in the league stages. However, KKR have an overall advantage over CSK with it comes to Chasing IMPACT (led by Gambhir and Kallis on this front) while CSK has an advantage over KKR when it comes to Pressure IMPACT (led by Hussey). This perhaps suggests that KKR would be better off chasing, though given how the Chennai pitch slows down and how it has favoured teams batting first over the years, and the fact that this is the biggest match of the IPL with its attendant pressures, perhaps batting first is the percentage option on winning the toss.
In the end, it comes down to big match temperament – and on this, CSK have been tested exhaustively before. There are 9 tournament-defining T20 players in their likely XI, which is as elite as a team gets (and 15 big match players in their squad). Moreover, 6 of these 9 CSK players have already delivered big match performances in the last two matches of the playoffs, which is as turned-on as a side can get for a big occasion.
KKR, conversely, have just 6 such players (which is not insubstantial by any means). They could consider including Brett Lee for Shakib as Lee is a huge big match player in T20 cricket (and Shakib not as emphatic a big occasion player in this format) but that would mean weakening an already slightly iffy batting line-up, so they probably won’t do it. Tournament-definer Manoj Tiwary will probably come back from injury in place of L Shukla – the former is a serious big match player though it was Shukla who performed very well in his place in the first playoff – it’s a ticklish problem for KKR. Whatever KKR does though, it is difficult to see CSK knocked over now. Two of CSK’s 4 highest impact performances in IPL 2012 came in the last 2 matches. They are just about fully revved-up now. If KKR do manage to win, it would be an upset, against the grain, against the laws of sporting momentum.
This doesn’t mean KKR can’t do it; it just suggests that they would need help from CSK to do so. It also means – if both teams play to potential, CSK will win.

KKR are worthy successors: Fleming 05:12:50
Chasing a hat-trick of IPL titles, the Chennai Super Kings faltered at the final hurdle of their unprecedented journey. A champion team, no doubt, but the Super Kings have had their problems this season. Despite all their ups and downs, CSK remain a battle-ready side willing to fight till the very end. Their peerless fighting spirit might have been dented by KKR in the final, but CSK coach Stephen Fleming feels that Gautam Gambhir’s side are worthy successors of the IPL crown. The Kiwi tactician admitted to have been taken by surprise by Manvinder Bisla’s onslaught, and he doffed his hat to KKR’s undying spirit.
Excerpts from a chat with CSK coach Stephen Fleming after his team’s five-wicket loss against KKR in the final of IPL 2012:
You gave it your best today, but couldn’t quite get past the line?
No, [it’s] disappointing. We played pretty well. I thought the batting was excellent. The bowling, under pressure, we weren’t as good as we could have been, and the fielding – five or six runs here or there we could have saved, might have been the difference. But a great final. Kolkata were excellent throughout the year. We stopped and started. But we came into the final and played well. After posting 190, we are very disappointed.
After posting 190, do you think the bowlers could have done better?
It’s a mixture of both. They played very well; [Manvinder] Bisla played well. We started very well with the ball, but his innings got a lot of momentum for their side and we weren’t able to pull it back. [Jacques] Kallis played the second fiddle very well and we were never able to shake them. But even with seven balls to go, we had a chance; there was a turning point there. That’s just the nature of T20 – we’ve been on the right side of it at times, [but] tonight we were on the wrong side.
After getting Gautam Gambhir out, you would have felt you were halfway there.
Yes, it was a big wicket; the one we wanted. We thought he’d probably have to get a lot of runs for them to win, but Bisla stepped up and really played a magnificent innings. And that’s what finals are about – where heroes are born. He’ll be toasted in Kolkata tonight, I’m sure. You missed out on a title hat-trick.
Do you think KKR are worthy winners?
Of course, fine winners. They’ve played well over here. They’ve played an excellent final. We said at half-time, if they get 190 and win it, then fair play to them. No complaints there, and certainly they’ve been a good side. Last couple of years, they’ve bought well, they’ve played well on their pitch – very similar to the style of cricket we play – and they were one team that we identified as going to be tough throughout the year at the start of the season. That’s come true, and hopefully, it starts a pretty good rivalry as we try and get it [the title] back next year.
