April 27, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): If Cricket is the biggest religion in our country, then this Sunday should count as the biggest religious festival, as all eyes will be on the Final Match of the DLF IPL 3, and all cricket ‘devotees’ will be praying, in some cases literally, for their favourite team.

As the nation counts down to the final face-off between this year’s contenders for the IPL title, the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings, we at TellyCafe spoke to some of TV’s ardent cricket fans about which team they will be rooting for in Sunday’s final showdown. No points for guessing who’s the favourite here in Aamchi Mumbai. Here’s what some of your favourite stars have to say about their favourite star:
