2011 CL T20 Final: Bhaji Leads MI to historical First Win

Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers finally woke up to show responsibility in the final, and bowled out Mumbai Indians to a below par 139. The job from there for the in-form Challengers batsman was easy. But, Malinga and Harbhajan led MI bowlers and fielders refused to accept defeat and RCB succumbed to 31 runs defeat getting bowled out on 108 in the last over. Mumbai Indians created history for themselves and became the second Indian team to win Champions League Twenty20 Tournament.
