The team that "gels well" in the league matches would be the ultimate winner of the inaugural Indian Premier League Twenty-20 cricket tournament, according to Chennai Super Kings' captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Talking to reporters in Chennai on the eve of his team's second league match against Mumbai Indians XI, Dhoni said, "The teams have played just one or two matches. You cannot make any assessment on this basis. There are lots of matches left. There will be ups and downs. The team which gels well throughout will be the winner."
Asked about the possibility of Sachin Tendulkar playing in tomorrow's match, the India ODI captain said, "When he (Sachin) plays no team can plan against him. Hopefully one ball will keep low and he may get out."
Dhoni said the IPL has got the right kind of start it needed.
"The start has been great, McCullum's batting has been solid one. Fans also got what they wanted. They saw some huge sixes, dance by cheerleaders, teams piling up huge scores and bowlers taking wickets. It provided excitement for the fans."
