IPL's official website displaying DD v CSK qualifier 2; 2 days and 10 hrs before the game, that was before the eliminator between CSK and MI even started; newschannels herr are showing screen shots of that page; they alsp displayed the final between CSK and kolkata well befote the game between DD and CSK had startef.

Vodafone had sent an sms to it's customers 2 days back asking them to watch csk v kkr in the finals before the game between csk and dd had started, on quedtioning vodafone apologiges and says it eas because of human error and it's a coincidence thatit came true.

hmmmm..... Finals in chennai since last two years and they continue to make the finals.

Nothing new there Sam - I just wanted to ask 1 question 5 players were banned for reason like they getting paid for more or some other reason but why was the team not put to the test who the players were playing for?

Ban 5 useless player and its end?? just to show the world they really care!!!

KKR win a nailbiter finals. Fantastic and a deserved win for them.

Bit sad that MSD could have added another feather in his hat, anyway he should get World T20 Cup and CLT20 this time.

KKR were forced to make some changes due to unavailability of Balaji, something very similar to what DD faced. KKR had to drop McCullum and replace him with Mavindar Bisla, and what a knock he played out of the blue.Had it backfired, I am damn sure few would have smelt it fishy.Many would have even said that IPL was designed for CSK to win.

KKR winning is infact has hit very hard on face of all those who thought IPL was fixed.

On the contrary Raj , after Chennai posted 190-odd I told all and sundry that KKR would get the runs !  I simply cannot accept that the IPL is clean.
Mental disintegration works for me !!

If only you could have assured that to Gambhir, he didn't take out his pads due to some strange superstition.

Not sure of that screenshot, I had a look at it when it went viral.
1. There isn't the Facebook "Like" icon and fan count
2.  KKR was in No 2 Position, when they finished league matches , the screenshot shows them as Position 1.

So it could be crafty photoshop work. Even if it's not (assuming it was fixed) why on earth would they spill it on official site. Can't find any other reason than software error and content management and publishing issue. Same with Vodafone...

Goofups have happened right from NASA sites to College results website , no big deal there.

2010 final was held in Navi Mumbai DY Patil stadium (as DC were 2009 champs and their home matches were moved to Mumbai due to some problems in AP ).So in 2009 2010 Navi Mumbai was adopted home of defending champs(DC)

2011 finals was held in Chennai as they were 2010 champs.Again as CSK was champs in 2011, 2012 was held again at Chennai.Hope that clear everything.

So next time it will have to go to Eden Gardens ...

congratulations to KKR, I was very happy to see them win, my wife, my father all supported KKR throughout the tourney, well done KKR!

Whether the IPL is clean or not, God knows, some strange things have happened, while Vodafone can give the excuse that it was a human error that the SMS (predicting the final beforehand) was sent out and was a coincidence that it came true, the news of IPL official website predicting not one but two outcomes correctly (both involving CSK in the eliminator/qualifier) is swept under the carpet... the same were quickly taken off from the website the moment they realized it.

anyways this is not the time to point fingers at the IPL... this is the time for all KKR fans to celebrate their win... it was a joy to watch Wasim bhai celebrating a win after such a long time... Gauti led the side really well and I have to say Narine was the star of the tournament, the lad has done the WI proud. Kallis was as classy as always, Bisla and Debabrata das played their part when needed... Shakib, Yusuf and Brendon missed out on significant contributions but here and there they played their part, esp Shakib with the ball... he was very difficult to get away.

all in all a wonderful tournament for KKR... well done SRK and his men!!!

I must say it was a great final, really close, and you hardly get finals like this, they're often one sided.

Nonetheless, Raj point of KKR winning hit hard on the fans who thought IPL was fixed doesn't hold salt.  Chennai were favourites due their years of finals experience in IPL.  Wouldn't it get dull seeing the same winners?? KKR winning would make a sweeter fix mate, just think about it.  I'm not saying the game was fixed, but just saying in the match fixing world, your logic doesn't hold.
In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage.

Spinny not only that plus put in the big boss SRK - SHAHRUKH KHAN the indian super hero so it would have been a major upset had Chennai won it.

Spinney, there is an old saying in Hindi ... "Chit bhi meri, pat bhi meri"...Which means "Heads is mine, Tails is mine".

Had been following internet during last stages of IPL (as there were idle days in between), hopping between cricket sites,post and forums.There isn't a solid ground for anyone to point at KKR now. All the while CSK's entry to final four and other things were being discussed earlier.

Suddenly KKR wins and all those make a U-Turn with some new arguments, faster than chameleon changes its colors.

Obviously there were only two possibilities, a simple Math outcome , CSK or KKR as winners ... Now that fingers are pointed to all possible outcome.I know what to do next.
