Chennai Super Kings' road to the IPL 6 final Without a doubt the most powerful IPL franchise - if not in all Twenty20 cricket - Chennai Super Kings have lived up to expectations by making it to their fifth IPL final in six season. Here, we take a look at how CSK's season has panned out.

1st match, v MI in Chennai - lost by nine runs

CSK opened the tournament with a narrow defeat to the team they will meet in the final, Mumbai Indians. Their bowlers had Mumbai on the mat until Kieron Pollard exploded with 57 off 38 balls to get the total to 148 for 6, a target which CSK fell short of despite MS Dhoni blazing 51 in 26 balls. A superb boundary catch by Pollard cut off the CSK captain and the hosts ended up nine runs short.

He may have retired from international cricket earlier this year, but Michael Hussey showed exactly why he still remains impossible to distract at the crease. With a staggering 732 runs from 17 matches at an average of 56.30, Hussey holds the prestigious orange cap.Perhaps the most consistent batsman of all six seasons combined, Suresh Raina has played a pivotal role in Chennai's road to the final. Raina not only notched up his first IPL century (100 not out against Kings XI Punjab), but also followed it up with 99 not out against Sunrisers Hyderabad two games later. Raina has managed 548 runs from 17 matches. MS Dhoni finds himself right where he belongs. Guiding his side to their fourth straight IPL final, Dhoni has led from the front on several occasions. Apart from providing stability in crisis situations, he has unleashed his big hitting capabilities whenever CSK needed quick runs towards the end. His demolition of Hyderabad's Dale Steyn at home was a testimony of his strength.

Uncapped Mohit Sharma proves his worth once again for Chennai For the 24-year-old Mohit Sharma, who made his first class debut for Haryana in 2011, IPL 6 so far has been rewarding. With nine wickets in seven matches and an enviable economy of six runs per over, the Ballabhgarh boy has raised a few eyebrows and his performance of 3 for 21 against Pune Warriors on Tuesday was worthy of a man-of-the-match award. Mohit has a habit of picking key...
