We are still proud in having said that the Chennai Super Kings is an ordinary team even when it was winning! The Chennai Super Kings proved to be an ordinary team once more. Both batting and fielding need to be better for the Chennai Super Kings!

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) innings

The RCB started off slowly. They played around six an over for the first half of their innings. With Kallis and Dravid departing early, the Royal Challengers put up an ordinary show in the beginning. But when Robin Uthappa came to the crease, things started to shift in favor of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team owner Vijay Mallya who was at the stadium would sure have been pleased with his team's performance so far.

Robin Uthappa scored 68 off 38 balls with 3 fours and 6 sixes at a strike rate of 178.95. Though all others fell cheaply, Robin Uthappa singlehandedly raised his team to victory. The spin wizard Mutthaih Muralitharan was the one who performed so much better for the Chennai Super Kings once again. If class players like Jacques Kallis and Anil Kumble are to perform the best for the Royal Challengers, then it is Mutthaih Muralitharan for the Chennai Super Kings.

The Royal Challengers were marshaled to a total of 171 for 5. With a good total to go by, Royal Challengers Captain Anil Kumble would have gotten a lot more confident fully being assured that the Chennai Super Kings would no way get to the target. If he got mighty Matthew Hayden and the Mongoose bat, then Royal Challengers would be close to another win.



The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) innings

Chennai Super Kings CUSKS!

If you were dyslexic, you would read this right! Even with Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Chennai Super Kings looks an ordinary team though there are two class players Matthew Hayden and Mutthaih Muralitharan playing. Chennai Super Kings had an uncertain opener who had a lot of failures to his name! Once touted as the Butter Gloves Patel, Parthiv Patel departed very early in the innings for just 1 run of 3 balls.

Mongoose bat Matthew Hayden was not impressive either! Scoring 5 fours, he got to better than a run a ball 32 off 28 balls. He was then run out by a Dravid direct hit at the non-striker's end. Matthew Hayden was half way up and while he got back to the crease, he was a little late. That marked the Chennai Super Kings defeat.

It was going to happen and the rest of the batsmen were all over the place. Most of them made room outside off stump only to nudge the ball to singles even when the asking rate was climbing well over 12 runs per over. No worries for the Chennai Super Kings as they sailed to a decent and face-saving total of 135 for 7 which seems to be their average score in each of the games.

In the last match, they were not able to score one run and break the tie to a win but this time no nails were bitten, no super duper overs, but simple losing out to the Royal Challengers Bangalore which the whole world had to witness!

Apprehensive shots took the toll and they lost quite comfortably to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Teams that are playing as a unit are the Royal Challengers, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals (though they lost several matches), Kings XI Punjab and almost all others but the Chennai Super Kings seem to be eleven individuals who bat and bowl. With the absence of Dhoni, the team spirit is even worser.

The Chennai Super Kings could not even score more of sixes and to go with that, fewer fours to chase a run rate of over 8.5 runs per over. Their medium pacer, Vinay Kumar took four wickets and helped them win though he went for 40 runs in four overs! The Chennai Super Kings lost the match quite gracefully as well as graciously.

Predictions for the next match

Hurt Chennai Super Kings will be hurt once more with the Mumbai Indians with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar doing both good captaincy as well as classy batting. The Chennai Super Kings will be looking to make a come back and say, "Wait! Let Dhoni come and see what we do!" Dhoni will have to come with a huge sigh (out of burden) and will have to shoulder more responsibility.

After the Mumbai Indians, the Chennai Super Kings will win continuously and will eventually not win the IPL 3 Cup! Let us see, if our predictions turn right at least with Dhoni returning after the Mumbai Indians or if he will be returning early.

Suggestions for the CSK Team Management

The Chennai Super Kings can also make use of some service as Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan does. They can opt for coaching by the public! They can take coaching tips from the audience. Then they must seriously look into the team composition and if contracts are to be over by this year, they should hire new talented players from International teams.

The CSK team management shall take the players to a picnic and do some team building activities. One of the activities should be group hugging! India Cements wake up! Your team is not the most attractive as Kolkata Knight Riders are! Even if they lose all the matches, they will still make profit. But if you lose, I don't know your means and your biggest asset might turn a liability.

That is all for today, and when Sachin Tendulkar lashes Chennai Super Kings, more suggestions will follow!
