Defending champions Chennai Super Kings after making a nervous start to this year’s IPL campaign are once again En route to the final with just a game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780 Daredevils standing in their way after they beat Mumbai Indians by 38 runs on Wednesday in the elimination match played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore.

Later, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 failed to put up a show as they kept losing wickets, and ultimately managed to post 149 runs for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs.
Dhoni was named as the Player of the Match for belting a resounding innings under pressure.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 has rallied behind Kolkata Knight Riders to win this year’s Indian Premier League, as the player feels that his sixth sense is telling him that his former franchise would go home with the trophy.
In an interview, Ganguly, who captained Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861 this year said, “My sixth sense says that KKR will win IPL this time. In sport there are several winning moments, I see them with KKR. Luck, it seems, is also with the KKR.”
"KKR however would look to avoid facing Chennai in the final. Otherwise, they look to be the best team to win the IPL this time," he added.
According to English pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 batsman has not been named in the squad, touring England.
Speaking on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s planning against Gayle, the lanky pacer said, “He's not currently in the squad. If he gets named in the team we'll do our research and of course we expect to see him in the ODIs and T20s, but until we hear otherwise he's not on our radar."
Meanwhile, the pacer is happy that he will be playing the second Test against the Windies at Trent Bridge, where he flourished as a player and has fond memories of giving his career best performance against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 last year.
