#3 Suresh Raina - 57* (35) and 1/21 - MI V CSK, 2010 in Mumbai

CSK were playing against MI in Mumbai and the latter had full support of the crowd. CSK won the toss and elected to bat. Openers Murali Vijay and Matthew Hayden gave CSK a good start. Raina held the innings, but continued to play aggressively. This provided the platform for CSK's big hitters MS Dhoni and Albie Morkel to deposit a few big ones into the crowd. CSK posted 168 on the board which had never been chased before in the finals.
MI lost Shikhar Dhawan early on, but they had the great Sachin Tendulkar who was in the middle of a purple patch. Sachin and Abhishek Nayar gave the innings some momentum. But after Nayar got out, CSK's spinners slowed down proceedings in the middle overs. Once Sachin was dismissed for 48, MI were almost out of the contest. Pollard scored a quickfire 27, but his dismissal meant, it was curtains for MI who scored 146 handing CSK a 22-run win.
Suresh Raina was awarded the MoM for his all-round efforts.
