IPL DLF Cup Grand Final Live Score - Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Kings

The Grand Finale of Indian Premier League - IPL is all set between two strong teams of the 2008 DLF Cup, Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings at Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai, on Sunday, 1st June, 2008 at 8.00 PM IST.

For Rajasthan Royals, 2008 IPL tournament is like a dream, an entire team costing less than two-and-a-half times Dhoni's price, reched the Final in style by winning 11 matches out of 14 league matches and won the semi-final by 105 runs against Delhi. The only worrying factor for Rajasthan Royals is the absence of Graeme Smith, whose batting has been the cornerstone of several Rajasthan innings, has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Chennai Super Kings, struggled after the exclusion of international stars, reached the final under the captaincy of highest paid player of IPL, MS Dhoni. They beat the strong Punjab team by 9 wickets in semis. Dhoni is very lucku in terms of captain, as he won the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa, where an unfancied India claimed the title.
