Former New Zealand skipper Stephen
Fleming continued a strong start to his coaching career by winning
consecutive Indian Premier League titles, which ensured that big money
flows into his bank account, one year into a new three-year deal with
Chennai Super Kings.
Fleming won the battle of former New Zealand skippers when Chennai beat
the Daniel Vettori-captained Royal Challengers Bangalore by 58 runs in
the final. Chasing an unlikely 206 to win, Bangalore reached 147-8. West Indies star Chris Gayle, who had smacked 608 tournament runs at an average of 76 and a strike rate of 183, was removed in the first over.
Fleming enjoys the right chemistry with skipper MS Dhoni and other players emulate this camaraderie.
CSK was also precise in its planning and execution. And the side fielded marvellously well too.
CSK was a popular winner. The side also took home the Fair Play award. (ANI)
