Chennai Super Kings has always gone for an experienced line-up even though it means letting go of youth. These players though have delivered once again for Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led by the skipper himself who has had another excellent year with the bat. The Men in Yellow won 9 out of their 14 games to finish level on points with Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. By virtue of a superior net run rate, Mumbai finished top of the table with all their big game players enjoying a rich vein of form. Delhi’s change in name resulted in some much-needed change in fortune as they exceeded expectation with nine victories. The Sunrisers Hyderabad sneaked into the top four after Kolkata Knight Riders’ shoddy work against Mumbai at Wankhede Stadium.
