It has been a fantastic innings by Manvinder Bisla to quickfire 89 runs in 48 balls with 8 fours and 5 sixes.
If KKR still fails to win in next 4 overs, all efforts will go waste. Jacques Kallis has to demonstrate his steel and deliver his best.

10 Overs And 100 runs KKR All Heading To Win The Title
10 Overs And 100 runs KKR All Heading To Win The Title
Didn't I say well before the beginning of the finals that KKR is going to grab the title:
CSK Or KKR - IPL2012 Finals: CSK Finishes With 190 In 20 Overs
In the finals of IPL 2012, Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bat first. Probably the decision was almost certain as was predicted in the article by Ravi Shastri that whosoever out of CSK and KKR wins the toss will certainly opt for batting first.
Michael Hussey was in full blow throughout his innings since he opened bat with Murali Vijay after fourth time finalist Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss against the first time finalist Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Hussey was confident, bold and up to the mark in his batting. In 11th over when Murali Vijay departed at 42, CSK was well consistent over 8.5 runs per over of batting avarege.
Shortly, Hussey completed his half century. Suresh Raina joined in with a very aggressive mood. The moment he came on the crease, it was him who started showering runs all across the ground and soon was able to cross an average of over 9 runs for CSK along with Hussey.
Though KKR bowlers tried their best but could not fetch water out of barren land despite their hard work by Lee, Narine, Shakib, Abdulla, Kallis, Yusuf Pathan. None of the bowlers could exert pressure on CSK batsmen except Narine who sustained at 6 runs per over and Rajat Bhatia who was able to get the wicket of Murali Vijay.
Suresh Raina's rapid score made him reach quite near to Hussey. in 17th over both were at same score of 54. Raina was with 4 sixes and 3 fours in 29 balls, while Hussey was with 2 sixes and 4 fours in 42 balls. After Raina joined Hussey on crease, the average was almost over 11 runs per over. Raina probably had made the day for Dhoni.
in 17 overs CSK was 160 for the loss of 1 wicket. with Raina on 58 and Hussey on 54. First ball of 18th over of KKR got a wicket for Kallis in his last over in shape of Hussey at 54. It had to be Dhoni obviously to come on crease and join blasting Raina. 18 overs of CSK batting brought in 171 runs with the help of 2 quick fours by Dhoni in his first over facing Kallis.
Average so far was good and consistent 9.5 runs per over. 12 balls left for CSK and would definitely see them cross 200 runs. 19th over was Narine's last over and could fetch only 2 runs in first 3 balls; but on the 5th ball Raina could not wait and grabbed a six. 19 overs CSK was 192 for the loss of 2 wickets and definitely they were ready to cross 200 runs in their last over thereby putting a tough challenge for Gambhir and co.
It was Skakib Al Hasan opening his 3rd and innings' last over with a wide. Average 9.6 runs per over. 1 wide, 1 run, 1 run, 1 run, 2 runs, 2 runs and and the gifted wicket of Raina saw CSK closing on 190.
KKR be ready to Roar and cross 190 to grab your well deserved Title.

First 10 Overs Of CSK See KKR Wicketless In IPL2012 Finals
Chennai Super Kings won the toss and decided to bat first. Michael Hussey and Murali Vijay didn't give any chance to any of the KKR bowlers though Brett Lee, Sunil Narine, Rajat Bhatia, Jacques Kallis left no stone unturned.
CSK Batting Average per over in first couple of overs though was not too good (around 6 only) but consistent solid batting by Hussey and Vijay kept average rising and by end of the 10th over it was over 8 per over. Hussey was more aggressive in the beginning but gradually Vijay also picked up the pace and caught up with Hussey in a short while.
Will CSK win or KKR is still uncertain though CSK have an edge over KKR, playing on their home ground.
I will still go with KKR... Lets see for 30 over more...

5 Points That Make KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) Stronger Contestant For IPL 2012 Title Over CSK (Chennai Super Kings)
If I have to bet on who will be the title holder of IPL5 (Indian Premiere League Season 5) finals, I would opt for KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders). It could look strange to many people as the match is happening at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai . CSK (Chennai Super Kings) has done so well so far in all their matches on this stadium. They have an edge over KKR of playing on home ground. But still I could see 5 solid reasons of KKR grabbing the title at the end of the day on May 27th 2012.
5 Reasons are:
1. First Timers: KKR has reached finals for the first time in 5 seasons and that is the reason that they will be more serious but with lesser tension in mind as compared to CSK who are reaching in finals for the fourth time, third in a row. CSK are two time title holders and hence are more under pressure to sustain their stake.
2. Consistent Performance: KKR has a better overall performance this year as compared to CSK. In the overall points tally KKR is at number two while CSK is at number 4.
3. Gautam Gambhir vs Dhoni: Gautam Gambhir has proven to be a much better batsman technically as compared to Dhoni who banks more on his non-textbook shots. Dhoni has not been able to give a consistent performance so far in IPL2012.
4. Sunil Narine: This Trinidadian bowler has been tremendous this season and has got his magical spin bowling recognized among all class of international batsmen in this IPL 2012. CSK batsmen will be under pressure under this young bowler.
5. Home Ground: CSK has a pressure of playing on their home ground having large count of fans supporting them. This will multifold the pressure on their batsmen to perform extraordinarily.
