DC truly lost the finals before it even started. Remember the scene from the Dhoni biopic where he tells his teammate that they lost the game when they saw Yuvraj Singh stride into the ground as if he owned the place? There was a bit of that today.

There is a method to beating the invincibles. They give you that aura where you feel you have to do something extraordinary to go one up on them. Their simple moves create doubts. If Jayant Yadav was playing for another team they might have taken 40 off his 4. But this was MI.

To beat the invincibles you need players who play in their own bubble. To beat Australia India needed a Harbhajan who didn't give a damn to their reputation. Who sledged them in Punjabi if he has to. You have to be the kind of person who has an almost false sense of superiority

Before Nadal burst on the scene, I remember players like Roddick playing grand slam finals against Federer almost in awe of the great man. But a street fighter like Nadal didn't care who he was up against. An approach like that throws the invincibles off their game.
