Dhoni's knock - others were no where near the pressure in which he was.
Dhoni's knock was amazing ...under pressure he did well... Second would be Gayle's 92...
Actually to be honest, Dhoni was not under pressure when he was hitting it, he was playing as he had nothing to lose. The real pressure was in the couple of overs where he almost came close to winning it. I am taking nothing away from his knock, it was a marvelous innings but it was not an innings under pressure as such :nice:

Until Dhoni got out in the last over it was 50/50 only. So there was always huge pressure on Dhoni. If there was no pressure why do u think Polloard fretted out bowling the 18th over to Dhoni

Dhoni's knock was amazing. Had that not for massive Pollard, he would have won the match certainly. Gayle's was very good too considering he alone scored all the runs.

Morgan's knock should be considered. He played well when KKR were regularly and, I mean regularly losing wickets every 2 overs. He almost pulled the win for them and he got a brilliant fifty.

Karthik's is by far the best till now. Didn't let the pressure overpower his batting even after the fall of 2 big wickets in first few overs. Played with confidence in his new-found form. BTW can someone explain how Kartik who was unable to clear boundaries till last year is hitting sixes effortlessly this time around? Performance enhancing drugs?

Didn't he hit 3 or 4 sixes off Mendis in one over in the inaugural Champions league? He can always clear boundaries. Never had issues.

So far.. so many singlehanded efforts Gayle 95* Pollard 57* KKD 60 Dhoni 51 Mahela 66 Warner 77 To me Gayle's 95 sticks out. What a knock. Dave Miller 80 not out Viru 95 not out
You forgot about Mandeep's 79* and Jayawardene's 59.
