And it is between the two team Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. Big teams, big win the semis and now they will meet on the 1st of June at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. One thing which can bring a bit of pressure on Chennai is that they lost both the match to them in the league round and Shane Warne must be looking for putting lots of pressure on them. So we will be waiting for the big moment at 8 PM IST. Keep on visiting.

6:50 PM: So the time is coming for the grand final and we can hope for a great fight, not the match that goes in the semis. Both these teams Rajasthan and Chennai has already crushed their opponent Delhi and Punjab respectively in semis, now which team can crush the other tonight? All eyes on some big name like, Tanvir, Yusuf Pathan, Warne, Jadeja, Kaif, Kamran Akmal, Pankaj Singh, Dhoni, Manpreet Gony, Morkel, Ntini, Parthiv Patel and many more.

I forget one name, whose height is a bit short but he has made his name too big in the ongoing IPL tournament. That man is Swapnil Asnodker. I have never seen any type of pressure on him. He can make a big difference in tonight’s match.

There are two things in India, which make people crazy, those are Cricket and Bollywood. Cricket is what we are seeing continuously from last few days and Bollywood is performing there in the form of Amrita Arora, Sameera Reddy, Shamita Shetty and Dia Mirza. What an entertainment. The biggest show was going on right now and that is of the super star Salman Khan. Mean while there was a show by some great athletes and that was awesome. I am a bit short of words for them. That troupe was announcer introduced as the Cirque du Soleil.

It is almost 7:40 PM now and hopefully the toss is going to happen just now, the big show by Salman Khan just ends, he was there providing a platform to his great show Dus ka Dum. So almost the first IPL has reached to the last stage and mean while there were some sorts of controversies too associated with the tournament, go through Controversies clouds of IPL!

Match Update: Toss is going to happen within a few minutes, and we are now waiting for some real cricket. Now the laser show is going on, a bit of slow music and the dance of lights. That is superb, really fantastic. We should must thank Lalit Modi and Sharad Pawar to organize such a huge event.

Toss: So the toss happend at 8 PM IST, and the coin was tossed by the Commissioner of IPL Lalit Modi and Shane Warne called head, and it is head. Warne won the toss and elected to bowl first, I hope that is what Dhoni was also looking for. So Dhoni’s team Chennai Super Kings will bat first. It is a fact that Rajasthan prefers to chase while Chennai prefers bat first, so both the captains are happy at the moment.
