Pune, May 5: Brilliant innings from Chennai! Their bowlers set it up beautifully for them by restricting a star-studded Bangalore batting lineup to a paltry total and then their batsmen scaled down the target without much discomfort. The partnership between Ambati Rayudu and Suresh Raina didn't allow enough opening for Bangalore upfront and then in spite of losing a few quick wickets, Chennai crossed the line quite easily. Once again it was MS Dhoni who stood tall till the end and played yet another eye-catching innings.
