IPL 2018: Michael Vaughan Lauds Chennai Super Kings for Winning IPL Season 11

Chennai Super Kings won their 3^rd Vivo IPL title after registering an eight-wicket victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the final of Vivo IPL 11.

It was a sensational knock from the blade of Shane Watson who eventually handed Chennai a mindboggling victory in the end. It was a stroll in the park for them, as Watson made light work of the target.

He started off with ten dot deliveries. However, he struck the 11^th ball for a boundary and from there on, it was no stopping Watson. The swashbuckling all-rounder smashed the Hyderad bowlers all around the park and remained unbeaten on 117 off 57 deliveries which studded with 11 fours and eight sixes.

It was some effortless hitting from Waston which eventually propelled Chennai to their 3^rd IPL title. They have now become the most successful team in the tournament with three titles along with Mumbai Indians.

Earlier, it was some good batting by Hyderabad, as they scored 178 in their allotted 20 overs. It wasn’t a big total especially at a stadium like Wankhede. However, in a final run on the board always matters and with a bowling line-up that Hyderad boasts they would have backed themselves to come out triumphant.
