IPL 2019 Final Review: A Final That Exposed Weakness of MI and CSK

Finally, IPL 2019 has got its old champion who loves to keep the trophy with them every alternate year. Rather than saying MI won the title, I would say CSK have lost it. Despite doing everything wrong, MI won and as they say everything is good if the ending is good so they looked at the positives they have achieved. It was an IPL of last overs finishes and its final concluded in the same way.
Let's have a look at things which encapsulated the final-

1. Fielding- They say catches win matches. Well, Mumbai Indians didn't have the great day in the field and it can easily be concluded from the fact that they had dropped a single player Watson four times. So, they have dropped all the catches and lost it so many times in the match but somehow managed to win the title.

2. Never run for a misfield- No matter how much unorthodox you become you cannot ignore any basic rule of cricket. And one such rule is- One should never run for a misfield. Ignoring this basic rule cost Chennai Super Kings the trophy.

MS Dhoni got run out while trying to steal a second run which was actually not there. Batting has always been a matter of concern for CSK throughout the season and the one man on which they had heavily relied got out in a manner no one had imagined. He got run out after 2 years and that too at such a crucial moment!

Another turning point was when a set batsman who had already been gifted four lives and took Chennai Super Kings on the verge of victory single-handedly hesitantly decided to take a second run. Has he not taken that run CSK would have comfortably won the match.

3. Umpiring Standard- The one thing which has been in radar throughout this IPL is umpiring. One decision of wrong run out eliminated RCB and another one made CSK lose the trophy. Serious amendments need to be done to make this gentleman's game fairer. Also, the standard of umpiring needs to be improved on priority.

4. Pressure Game- Honestly speaking throughout the match Mumbai Indians felt the pressure of final no matter how much they deny. That wicket keeping blunder by de-cock, those simple dropped catches by their fielder and that second last penultimate over by Krunal Pandya is the proof of that. Chennai Super Kings was much more composed looking at the kind of experience they had in their team but CSK batting got exposed after Dhoni's dismissal. And last over was simply the contest between an experienced player and an inexperienced one. Lasith Malinga stuck to the basics and his strength and used his 12 years of IPL experience and bowled toe-crushing yorker in the last over which restricted CSK to even equal the title.

All in all, it was not the final anyone would have expected. While Chennai Super Kings fans are still in disbelief, the Mumbai Indians fans are happy about the fact that they have clinched the trophy.

MS Dhoni -The Man With Strong Will Power

Destiny’ s child , a cool captain ,a  man who saves his best for big matches , a perfect match finisher or whatever you want to prefix with his name but there is something very special about this man which separate him from other cricketers of his generation . The way Chennai Super Kings have qualified for the playoffs in this IPL 5 has shown  new aspect of MS Dhoni and hence I could not stop myself to extend my views from my previous post "Captain Coooooooool "....!!!!!

Albert Einstein said there is a very strong power which is even more powerful than steam , electricity  or quantum energy and t hat power is “Human Will” and he was actually not stupid ,MS Dhoni seem to be  strong believer of this  .Fortune surely favors the brave and this man  with his strong will power can make it happen !!!!! If he takes a decision ,then he also have the courage to back his decision and prove it right any how ,that’s his will power which is the catalyst behind those hefty shows of helicopter shots which are his trademark .

MS Dhoni  has mastered the art of handling pressure .It is being said that - you can't make a great play unless you do it first in practice , probably that’s the reason the universe respond the way he thinks with his strong will power . Right from his debut he has accepted all the challenges and was always cool as cucumber on the field with his cricketing mind .His techniques may not fit in any book but his stats speaks aloud .Ask for batting , captaincy ,wicket keeping he is always their in the game .It is because of his strong will power only that India have cherished many proud moments in the world cricket ,may it winning the world cup where he promoted himself over in form Yuvraj Singh when  he himself was not performing upto the mark but came up with a match winning knock , T20 world cup where he has given the last over to the Joginder Sharma  or achieving top test ranking  in all ,at crucial time it was MS Dhoni who has helped team to actually achieve that , he sense the win and actually live it or make it happen with his skills ,he is at his best in pressure situation probably best in the world . It’s the strong will power which matter a lot in the pressure in the situation as "the only way to maximize potential for performance is to be calm in the mind"  , that’s why  the success rate of Indian team is high because the Indians are now giving fight to the opposition till the last ball which is the major improvement of Indian team under  his captaincy.

Whether its Team India or Chennai Super Kings  , he has been very successful and as universe respond the way you think so do his team members whom he lead   .Whether you are a admirer or critic of MS Dhoni one thing we should accept is the power of will ,power of believing in yourself ,power of proving yourself ,it surly can bring out miracles to any ones life.As primary purpose of sports is inspiration ,he is the  living example of the most powerful power .Go MS Dhoni India is proud to have you as a captain ,hopefully India is going to achieve many new heights with your powerful impact and strong will power .
