Chennai were crowned Indian Premier League champions after defeating Mumbai by 22 runs in the final of the Twenty20 tournament in Mumbai last night.

Electing to bat, Chennai posted 168 for five and then restricted Mumbai to 146 for nine to win their first ever IPL title.

For Chennai, who played their second final after finishing runners-up to Rajasthan Royals in 2008, it has been a roller coaster ride having made it to the semifinal in their last league match.

Well many congratulations Chennai for a job well done. Was one exciting match to watch indeed.
