The grand finale for IPL season 3 exceeded by far the word 'grand' itself!

Preceding the nail biting final that was to ensue between three times semi finalists Chennai Super Kings (CSK), and home team/majority's favorite Mumbai Indians (MI) at DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai, was a welcome marked by prominent some!

Amidst glitteratti, paparazzi, the cheers of about 50,000 fans, specks of yellow and a sea of blue, the game was set to commence. Prior to this came tinsel town's entertaining brigade. While former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen was spotted among the crowd, Bipasha Basu took a round of the ground doing her sensuous jiggles to superhit tracks from Race and All The Best!

Shahid was landed from a hovering craft to shake his famous leg to Chaska from upcoming release Badmaash Company, and later to 2009's energizing chartbuster Dan Te Nan.

Grammy and Oscar winner A.R.Rahman got the spectators on their feet with his Jai Ho performance, sharing the stage with Pussycat Dolls. In culmination of the colorful opening ceremony to the final game of IPL season 3, music maestro Rahman cast the spell of his melody with Maa Tujhe Salaam (Vande Mataram) - a perfect way to end the splendor, and an inspiring way to kick start the game!

With CSK lifting the trophy for this season (IPL 2010), skipper M.S.Dhoni's team has finally accomplished what was missed by a mere run against Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra's Rajasthan Royals in IPL-I. Having been the only team to have made it to the semi final stage in all three seasons so far, the consistency of the team has finally paid off and trophy has convincingly been bagged by the supposed underdogs against the voted best contenders of IPL - III.

Three cheers for the Men in Yellow!
