The Match was lost by 7 runs in 7 balls

[Malcolm Merlyn]

There you go guys.Thats where the match was lost.7 runs in 7 balls chasing 246 in 20 overs is criminal.

Ajinkya Rahane has lost us one more T20.The sooner he is dropped the better.

[Laaloo]

Still from that slow start and to get to 8 from 6 is on Dhoni. No one else. 

 

P.S. Rahane should have never been there. Should have been booted out after the semi final.

On Dhoni?Why?KL Rahul was also there.

[chewy]

I would say Dhoni more at fault, 8 off last 6 balls, criminal to loose from there chasing 240+

[Malcolm Merlyn]

What was the other batsman doing?

already made 100 +

 

hit on the toes 3-4 times

required physio so many times

 

and the great one at the other was making him run ones and twos when he should have been putting bad balls away to the boundary

Match was lost in the last over.  8 required of 6 balls. I repeat: 8 required of 6 balls.

Then Rohit is also to be blamed?

7 in 7 in the start is acceptable.

Even 7 in 10 is ...

 

8 of 6 when you are set and  have nothing to worry about like wickets in hand, is much easier.

7 in 7 is never acceptable when Reqyired rate is 12.

[beetle]

32 runs in one over.....

[velu]

in the end , the deserved team won the game ( ie CSK )

32 runs in one over.....

Am I the only person who thinks that dhoni deliberately played bravo softly..those singles in the 18th over weren't acceptable.

It's very trivial...given it was at the start of the innings...you seriously got to be kidding me if you are saying that dhoni not hitting 8 off 6 is acceptable but Rahane 7 off 7 lost us the match.

Dhoni faced 4 balls in the last over and Rahul faced just 2 balls.  

 

Dhoni had double the opportunity to hit a 6 or a 4 in the last over.

There were 2 batsman at the crease.Who stopped Rahul from hitting?

Dhoni faced 1 ball more than Rahul...

7 for 7 is not trivial.

Ohh you are comparing rohit to rahane now..  when was last time rahane accelerated like rohit did ???  Even rahul was way more set 2 runs  of 2 balls in final over how good was that so

That is what even I am saying..

MM was blaming Rahul for that last over horror because even he was there alomg with dhoni...so I just cross questioned him whether in the same logic Rohit was to be blamed for the slow start.. pura pad ke understand kiya kar.
