We’re favourites, but can’t be complacent - Jayasuriya | Mauler's Notes IPL 2010

After two years we’ve reached an IPL final and everyone in the franchise is determined we top six fantastic weeks with the winners’ crown. There is a lot of confidence in the squad, and we now hold our destiny in our own hands.

If we play with the commitment, discipline, intelligence and skill that has been the hallmark of our cricket this season, we should win. We deserve the favourites tag by virtue of our performance and we should be proud of that. However, we can’t afford to be complacent. In T20 cricket everything rests on performance.

You can have the best team with the most in-form players on any given day, yet you can lose if you don’t perform. We all realise this.
