  CSK After Returning from Suspension became Champions by defeating all Odds Rewind a couple of months back to the IPL Auctions and you saw experts rating the CSK side 4 or 5 on a scale of 10. They had a large number of aged players in their side. Most players were well past their prime, including the skipper. How did they lift the IPL trophy on 27 May despite being against all odds? How did they even manage to reach the finals? Let us go right back to the team retention. Trusting The Players and Retaining Core: CSK and MS Dhoni can never be thought of separately. The veteran had to be back to his adopted home once the franchise returned to action. The owners did as expected by retaining the three core Indian players - Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Ravindra Jadeja. Not only that, they brought back the coaching staff too. And bringing in Mike Hussey and L Balaji resulted in another masterstroke. The support staff gelled well with the team as they had already been a part of the franchise p...

How CSK took home advantage unlike other teams

-

 

 

We all Know the pitches in Chennai are dry and turn a lot. Therefore spinners will be a added advantage to any team playing in this pitch. CSK used this advantage like no other team has done.

With the likes of Jadeja,Imran Tahir, Harbhajan Singh , Karn Sharma it helped MS DHONI alot while captaining CSK


All of them provided some vital breakthroughs at the right time. With Imran Tahir leading the spin attack and Harbhajan Singh used all his experience supported by Ravindra Jadeja. Overall it has been a complete team effort by the men in Yellow

Harbhajan Singh bowled according to the plan against KKR where he took the wicket of Sunil Narine that's an important wicket. And Imran Tahir dismissed Ben stokes where stokes looked a bit dangerous eventhough a lone warrior for their team.

Jadeja had his moments be it batting, bowling or fielding. He dismissed Chris Lynn when he was looking dangerous to score big.

Overall, CSK used spin bowlers to home advantage like no other team and reaped rewards by taking regular wickets.

 MS Dhoni’s stature as one of the most destructive batsmen in the world was not built merely on the runs he made, but it was the strike-rate that caught the imagination. IPL-11 has seen the Vintage Dhoni in all circumstances whether the captaincy or The strike power or finishing skills. All these memorable Innings came when he batted up the order i.e; At No.4 for CSK Trun the clock back to KXIP match it was only 3rd match of season for CSK and Ms DHONI delivered for CSK with some vintage striking.
