Mumbai Indians have clinched their second IPL title following a crushing 41-run win over Chennai Super Kings in a lop-sided summit clash at Eden Gardens in Kolkata last night. Mumbai Indians posted an imposing 202 for five as skipper Rohit Sharma(50) and Lendl Simmons (68) rattled up a 119-run stand off just from 67 balls after being invited to bat. Mumabi bowlers complimented the good work of the batsmen as they took the fizz out of the Chennai's chase with a very disciplined effort. They strait jacketed the Chennai batsmen, restricting them to 161 for eight as seasoned spinner Harbhajan Singh took key wickets of Dwayne Smith (57) and Suresh Raina (28) in two overs. Mumbai had won their first title in 2013 at the same venue, by defeating the same rivals. Chennai has now lost four finals of 2008, 2012, 2013, 2015 in six appearances.
