CHENNAI Super Kings won a second successive Indian Premier League cricket title after thrashing Royal Challengers Bangalore by 58 runs in Saturday's final in Chennai as openers Murali Vijay and Mike Hussey smashed half centuries.
Vijay (52-ball 95) and Australian Hussey (45-ball 63) vindicated captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's decision to bat first with an opening stand of 159 runs in just 14.5 overs. Bangalore's only hope of pulling off an unlikely victory rested on big-hitting West Indian Chris Gayle but the tournament's top scorer fell in the first over for a duck to offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Bangalore limped to 147-8 after 20 overs, having been reduced to 70-6 at one stage.
