Chennai Super Kings has a defeat in their first IPL match against Mumbai Indians. On the other hand, Bangalore Royal Challengers had deated IPL T20 season 1 champions Rajasthan Royals in their opening match. But everybody knew that Dhoni and his boys had the potential to return back strongly in the tournament. And that is what they did with a resounding win of 92 runs. Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat. Matthew Hayden (65 off 35 balls) and Parthiv Patel (30 off 26 balls) smashed the Bangalore bowlers for fours and sixes and the Chennai Super Kings reached 106/0 in the first 10 overs itself. Though Chennai lost wickets at regular intervals after that but the base laid by Hayden was enough to cruise them CSK to 179/5 in their 20 overs. Bangalore Royal Challengers lost wickets at regular intervals when they came to bat and the efforts of Jacques Kallis (24 off 19 balls), Rahul Dravid (20 off 18 balls) and Robin Uthappa (20 off 19 balls) were not enough as they were bundled out for 87 runs in 15.2 overs. Muttiah Muralidharan bowled a super spell of 3/11 which fetched him the Man of the Match award.
