Suresh Raina century help Chennai Super Kings clinching the T20 Champions League title 2014

The Chennai Super Kings’s batman Suresh Raina blasted a blistering century pulverizing Kolkata Knight Riders into submission as Chennai Super Kings exacted a sweet revenge clinching the Champions League T20 in style with a eight-wicket victory in a thoroughly one-sided final, in Bangalore, on Saturday night.
This is CSK’s first trophy in three years having last won the Indian Premier League and CLT20 in South Africa, in 2011. They were beaten by KKR in the IPL final in 2012. Raina, one of the finest players of the shorter format made a mincemeat of a KKR attack that looked psychologically down with mystery spinner Narine already on his flight back to Port of Spain. Raina is now the only player to score a century in T20 Internationals, IPL and CLT20 tournaments.As it has been for Raina in a yellow jersey, where he has rarely failed, the UP left-hander gave a perfect exhibition of how to play on a track that offers turn.Raina’s footwork against spinners was out of the coaching manual as he came to the pitch of the deliveries and effortlessly lifted the spinners like Piyush Chawla (0/38 in 3 overs) and Kuldeep Yadav (0/44 in 4 overs) into the second tier of the Chinnaswamy stadium.
In fact, Raina spoilt the party for young chinaman bowler Kuldeep, who got a maiden call-up into Indian ODI side earlier in the day, lofting into the stands thrice in two overs.He added 118 runs in only 12.2 overs with Brendon McCullum, who scored 39 off 30 balls and 58 off 5.2 overs with Dhoni. Needless to say, Raina was the dominant partner in both the stands.
