The hit opening pair of Michael Hussey and Murali Vijay, who laid the foundation of the big win against Bangalore, partied together at the latter's room till early hours of Sunday morning.

Around afternoon today, almost all domestic players of the team left for airport for their respective cities. The overseas players are expected to leave by today evening.
