#5 Dwayne Smith

One of CSK's four defeats in IPL finals came in 2013 against the Mumbai Indians. After a stellar showing in the group stages where they topped the charts, CSK were heavy favorites entering the final but after winning the toss and opting to field, they allowed the Mumbai juggernaut to amass 202.

With the firepower at their disposal, they were still in the game, but they needed their top order to get them off to a strong start. After Michael Hussey's early dismissal, the onus was on Dwayne Smith but he just never got going.

Scoring at a run-a-ball when the rate was up at 12-13, Smith contributed to his team's downfall, ending with 57 off 48 balls, leaving the tail with too much to do.
