Mumbai Indians take Chennai Super Kings at Newlands, Cape Town, Republic of South Africa on 18th April 2009 MS Dhoni Captain of Chennai Super Kings wins the toss but decides to bowl. Dhoni’s decision was appreciated when CSK packed the devastating batsman Sanath Jayasuriya 26 off 20 balls. Sanath Jayasuriya’s wicket must have been a big relief to the CSK as he was dropped by Sachin Tendulkar at the first slip in the previous over.

Star performer of the 1st IPL Brendon McCullum left KKR after the initial match and that had brought the graph of the batting to a low. Eyes were set on this delight to watch batsman who was skipper of the team too. With Prince of Kolkata in the team and other massive players there was hope of KKR giving a tough match to DC.

The fielders were positioned accurately for every ball bowled, the blade of the batsmen scored good runs and it was win all the way for Deccan Chargers who were written off last year.
