The final

It was always going to be a tough fight between the table toppers and the runners-up in the final of the tournament. While many expected the likes of Rashid Khan and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar to defend the total, the others expected the likes of Rayudu and Suresh Raina to chase down the total.

In the end, it was Shane Watson who thanks to the brute force he possesses managed to take the Sunrisers bowling apart with some breathtaking brand of cricket. On the other hand, Suresh Raina played a calm and composed innings to lead the Super Kings to the title.

Deservedly so, it was the right-handed Ambati Rayudu who finished the game with a beautiful drive on the off-side, while a jubilant Shane Watson lifted his arms in celebratory mode.
