Super Kings win Champions leage, what does it mean to us ?

It was great to see how Super Kings clinched the title beating Easter Warriors from South Africa in Champions league final. I am very much delighted on this win specially because of the facts as below.

Murali Vijay was the highest run scorer in the series. It was great to see that he played great on South African tracks. He appeared rock solid in defense and off course displayed he is capable of playing all kinds of shots.

Suresh Raina once again proved how great a talent he is. Importantly I saw him hitting sixes on few short pitched balls. Good sign for Indian Cricket.

R. Ashwin, the man of the series, had a great tournament, being an all rounder, he can add nice value to Indian team.

We can see that this is the time when Chennai Super Kings won the cup because our Indian players performed brilliantly. They were not that much dependent on foreign players performances. This appears a great sign for India.

Yet there is one thing that still bothers me is that we didn't see even a single fast bowler who can make a difference. We have a whole army of batsman who can be better than any one else in the world, but we fail to find a single fast bowler.
Unfortunately we can't win all the matches just because of our batsmen, we need to have great fast bowlers in India as well. I just hope that IPL franchise and captain takes it seriously, they can help by making sure that our young Indian fast bowlers get enough time with foreign greats to learn from them.
I hope some day in near future we shall have a new breed of great fast bowlers that will make India the greatest team in the world ever.
