No one thought a team which was plagued with injuries could win the Champions league trophy. Mumbai Indians did exactly that. Before the start of the tournament their player were succumbing to injuries at the rate of knots. There was a stage where one more injury would have left them with insufficient players to field a team. But on Sunday night they clinched the Champions League 2011trophy defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 31 runs.
After bowling out the Mumbai Indians for 139 runs Royal Challengers Bangalore must have thought that they were favorites to win the cup but Mumbai Indians bowlers had other plans. Harbhajan Singh, Chahal, Pollard, Malinga all bowled superbly. After T. Dilshan got out Bangalore were never in the match. Mumbai Indians got $2.5 million as prize money whereas the runners up team got $1.3 million.
