MS Dhoni – Chennai Super Kings
It is always Dhoni’s boys placed on the top, be it the World Cup in which the Indian Team had a greater probability, or the IPL where the sizzling Chennai Super Kings, Team CSK is considered to have a better edge over other. Dhoni’s leadership and strategizing has something which lacks among the others. The coach for these boys in ‘yellow’ is Stephen Fleming, former cricketer. Not a week since these two [Dhoni and Gauti] met the Sri Lankan Team at Wankhede, the CSK is all ready to meet the Kolkata Knight Riders, headed by the most costliest player of the IPL, Gautam Gambhir. The KKRs get all the bowling drills from the Pakistani tornado, Wasim Akram. Wasim feels that the KKRs are all fit and ready to swirl the ball over and again.
Back to CSK, the coach Fleming feels that the players are well retained in this auction and there is not problem of settling with a new environment and so on. Retaining Dhoni, Raina, Vijay, Albie Morkel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Subramanium Badrinath, Hussey which gives their batting a terrifying gaze. There is no great transition in the team composition of the CSK; there are nine new players into the team. This time the top, middle and the lower order of the board are also well defined and the opening match of the IPL 2011 will be neat and quiet a one to watch. Stephen himself had several misapprehensions regarding the pitch at the stadium, Chennai; however he considers that for the home players this sub-continent’s pitches would be an easy one. CSK is considered to the most impeccable team of the League with minimum hype and the cheer-leader effect! Ownership Counts more than anything, for the last three years what CSK gained in the Coromandel was the support from the fans, there is always a hidden effect, as how Mohali and Mumbai helped the Indian Team in the last fortnight, the same beholds here. Rubbing shoulders and playing with our World Cup finalist, Kulasekara makes the entire affair of the IPL go awe, as it blends beautifully the global cricket.
