India News: After the heart-wrenching defeat at the hands of the same opponent in 2010, Mumbai Indians finally clinched its first IPL title in style, outplaying Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs in front of a near capacity crowd in the Pepsi IPL-VI at the Eden Gardens here on Sunday.
Chasing MI's 148 for nine in 20 overs, CSK managed only 125 for nine in 20 overs. Skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni — 63 not out off 45 balls with three fours and five sixes — waged a lone battle as the Chennai team, plagued by off-field controversies, surrendered without a fight to lose a third time in the final, the last two in succession.
