Mahendra Dhoni just could not make it. He was not out twenty-nine as the twentieth over ended. YK Pathan devastated chennai with 3 for 22 runs in 4 overs.

Balaji and Muralitharan gave away more than 85 runs in eight overs without capturing any wicket.

It was the game of nerve. Jaipur scored 164 for 7 in twenty overs. Chennai batting next ended up 163 for 5 with Dhoni still not out. How is that possible, asks a Chennai hardcore fan. How can you lose by a run with five wickets in hand and above all mother of all stroke player Dhoni with the bat in hand ready to hammer the world out of whack?

Some are saying it was a BCCI-IPL match setup in which crores of rupees were made in the betting market by betting against Dhoni’s team.

According to some reports in India, the betting market bif players were betting millions of dollars and euros against Chennai while the match favorite was chennai 7 to 1.
