Manvindar Bisla, the Haryana batsman turned it around for the KKR to claim their first IPL title at Chepauk against the defending champions CSK. The bowling head of the
CSK were wonderstruck by the awesome counter attack from Manvinder Bisla (89 from 48 balls). He made a useful partnership with the South African all rounder Jacque Kallis (69 from 49 balls).
Scores:
After winning the decisive toss, CSK chose to bat first and got off to a good start with the in form batsman Murali Vijay and the birthday boy Mike Hussey finding the shots. From there on, Suresh Raina (73 from 36 balls) and MS Dhoni took them off to the big score.

| Manvinder Bisla became the hero for KKR's IPL crow | n |
The KKR who hugely relied on Skipper Gautum Gambhir's form got a disappointing start as Gambhir was clean bowled after putting just 3 runs to the score board. From there onwards, Bisla and Kallis built a good partnership. After giving a very healthy run rate, Bisla got out. the next two batsmen including Yusuf Pathan didn't realy manage to get runs as it was really needed.
As the game approached to the last over, the spectators were on the edge of the seats, biting their nails. The last over was of Dwayne Bravo. The first two balls were went for singles by Manoj Tiwary. The third ball went for a four behind the stumps. The fourth ball also went for four and it was all over for the
Kolkata Knight Riders who did it for the King Khan. The party was already on and it was celebration for Kolkata at Chennai.
