The Celebrity Cricket League (CCL) saw Chennai Rhinos defeating Bangalore Bulldozers in the final held at Rajiv Gandhi stadium in Hyderabad on June 12. The IPL victory followed the CCL as the Chennai Super Kings won the IPL and Chennai Rhinos have won the CCL for 2011. It was not just an easy task for Chennai Rhinos to face Bangalore Bulldozers who have won all the preliminary rounds with outstanding all round performance. In the finals, Chennai team has set a terrifying target of 189 and Karnataka bulldozed for 165.

Chennai Rhinos won due to superior batting power, tight bowling and superb fielding and Bangalore Bulldozers lost as their bowling was weak and their fielders dropped catches and fielding was also bad. Finally Bangalore team was able to pile up only 159-9 in their allotted 20 overs and lost the match by 31 runs.

It seems like CCL is going to be continued as two new teams will be taking part in 2012 CCL matches. It is Bangla team to be owned by Sridevi and her husband Boney Kapoor and a Kerala team whose owners will be Priyadarsan and his wife Lizzy.

Great going CCL and out heartfelt Congratulations to Chennai Rhinos!
