After 44 days of exciting cricket, the final match of the inaugural DLF Indian Premier League (IPL) was finally here. A brilliant 1-hour closing ceremony that involved a potent mix of acrobatics, pyrotechnics and performances by popular faces of the Indian film industry got viewers into the mood for a good game ahead in the final. At the toss, Shane Warne called heads and called it right. He decided to field as has been his policy throughout the tournament, probably doing so to test the Chennai batsmen on a seemingly uneven track with slightly lower bounce than the Wankhede.
