This no SL player rule is kinda fun. They should do this every year, ban some random team's players (except Indians ofc) from some random team's home games. I say randomly start with West Indians in Bengaluru. :hahaha:

I don't think it was a case of peaking too early. Many of CSK's wins throughout the league stage were last over wins that could have gone either way, Ashwin and Vijay were lackluster throughout the season. I think they just lost a crucial toss. Had they won the toss and batted first in the final they'd probably have won it like they did in the first playoff. Once Morkel got a couple of wickets in the first few overs I knew it would be a low scoring match and that the deadlier bowling lineup of MI would be twice as lethal. Also Morkel was their best bowler in the match but he only got to bowl 3 overs, Bravo's last over was very expensive and probably cost them the game.

Plus the reason why I said they peaked too early was because they were leading the points table. If you look at the IPL where they did good, they usually struggle during qualifications and then peak. Here they were due a failure

Here they were due a failure[/quote'] To me they never looked convincing even during their 7 consecutive wins, in fact to me they've never looked convincing since the 2011 IPL after which the pitch in Chennai was relaid, since then they've performed poorly at home. Just because they have persisted with out of form players in the past and won they think it will work each and every time, they gave way too many chances to people like Vijay and Ashwin. I think releasing Doug Bollinger was a huge mistake, he almost single handedly won them the 2010 IPL. Considering how they like to persist with the same set of players for a relatively long period of time I'm sure there must have been a good reason for it. Ben Hilfenhaus being injured and not available this year didn't help them either. I predicted way back in April that MI would win the cup this year though I thought it would be because of Ponting's captaincy and his ability to lead and play well in knockout games, the only thing MI lacked.
