For all the famous South Indian cuisine, the one we never heard about was the Chennai Tandoor. And boy was it on display tonite for all cricket afficianados to savor. Punjab batting was first finely marinated by some accurate bowling from Chennai and then Punjab bowling received some high temperature roasting from Raina and Patel. To add salt to this, the Mumbai crowd firmly supported the Dhoni's men with a sea of yellow, inspite of Punjab team having distributed 'white flags'. A Punjab team that looked impressive on paper merely remained so -- a team good on paper, with their batsmen falling off like headless chicken. Yuvy for all his bravado, couldn't come up with any recipe to contain Chennai. In end, Chennai had them for dinner tonite and boy did it taste good.

You can safely say that the way Chennaites tuck into their bisi bele rice with gusto, much the same way, CSK devoured Kings 11 piecemeal...it was a no match and i had predicted this a couple of days back..
Reason : Body language of both captains...Yuvi all tensed and wanting to take revenge etc and MSD all cool and a faint mystewrious smile almost as if he had already planned Yuvi's debacle... MSD vs Yuvi has now become a bit of a Men vs Boys kind of contest...a no-contest and a no-brainer.... And the Punjabi still believes that he can convince the Indian selectors that he can be a better captain than MSD...some temerity!!!!!!!
