CSK vs DC: Chennai Super Kings vs Deccan Chargers in Nagpur: What's gone wrong with CSK again?

The Chennai Super Kings vs Deccan Chargers IPL 3 match ended with the Deccan Chargers winning quite comfortably. Chennai Super Kings still irk fans by their average performance and lack of team spirit



The IPL 3 has not had a single team that could win consistently like the Australian Team in One Day Internationals and Test Matches. Except for Mumbai Indians, there seem to be no convincing winners. Almost every other team is fighting to secure the four berths. Some have failed drastically like Kings XI Punjab but last minutes heroics will not rewrite destiny in favor of them.

It is interesting to see that Sachin Tendulkar led the team better than his Australian Counterparts. Those Legendary Captains and Players won less matches than Sachin Tendulkar. What worked in favor of Sachin Tendulkar? What not in favor of those Aussie Legends like Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist? The answer to both the questions is the sheer unpredictability of the format which led the Pakistan Team to a surprising World Cup Win!

When the Mumbai Indians were beaten recently, it showed that in this unpredictable game, any team could win and lose. Dhoni has a few winning knacks in his armory but the Chennai Super Kings must understand that that is not all that is enough. The openers, middle order and everyone has been failing and the burden falls on Dhoni and Raina over and over again.

Except Murali Vijay other Chennai lads or members of the team have not performed well. Murali Vijay seems to have a certain charm about himself. When he secures himself permanently in the Indian Team, he is sure to attract a lot of Female fans from Chennai with some marriage applications too.

We simply have to hope that the Chennai Super Kings will make it to the Semis (whether or not there is a chance from now or at least through Net Run Rate) winning the next few matches!

CSK vs RR: Old rivalry reignited - Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings: CSK lost once more





Your Ad Here




The Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings IPL 3 match ended up with Chennai Super Kings on the losing side once more. The Rajasthan Royals took a royal march once again. Chennai Super Kings humbled down as inferior lot!

Dhoni's cricketing acumen came handy the first time around. He understood the format before anyone could explore and exploit. Even Australia, a specialist one-day side, did not know of the nuances of winning a Twenty20. It was much like the One Day Internationals as a format which was not exploited by a team other than West Indies. But later on, all the top teams came to the groove and evolutions in the game taught the players a lot.

This was the case with the Deccan Chargers and more so with the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Chennai Super Kings explored and exploited the format in the first IPL and Rajasthan Royals won the Cup with the help of their vintage Captain Shane Warne adding some Australian element to the team.

Dhoni knew of the format after an emphatic Twenty20 World Cup win! He explored and exploited. But now, the same Mahendra Singh Dhoni may have been forced to feel that an immaculate Captain as he is is not enough for any team to win. He would have been forced to understand that a good winning team requires players who at least try to win or least try to play good cricket.

I received a text message that read:

"We are playing a tournament match next Sunday in T. Nagar, Somasundaram Ground. Please join. Rs. 5000, if we win. Opponent is Chennai Super Kings! Quite a cakewalk! We stand great chance!"

Suggestions for the Chennai Super Kings

Similar Chennai Super Kings jokes have been doing the rounds! The Chennai Super Kings can be bought a school bag and a few books with which they can play "book cricket" and practice themselves.

The Chennai Cricket Players selection stigma

Quite truly, these Chennai Super Kings lads are playing like Gully Cricket Players. I mentioned the stigma associated with their game play in the last post. This is further substantiated by today's match against the Rajasthan Royals. More than that, I lost interest to post an article about the Chennai Super Kings by last match itself.

Watching Chennai Super Kings play is an eyesore. Oh what an unpleasant experience! We cannot support a team that plays on our behalf. Why is the team quite ordinary when we have the one and only Chennai Super Kings to support? What has India Cements done right or wrong to have the Chennai Super Kings lose match after match?

Today's match was one where the Chennai Super Kings flirted with good cricket at times though not with a win. I could only mean the wickets and catches and nothing more. The Chennai Super Kings must understand that it is tiring to see such a game. Don't lose spectators and, mind you, you have only one state to support. At least in the north, you have neighboring states to provide the support. Here, you have both the Deccan Chargers as well as the Royal Challengers!

And Kochi is coming up to make up for the Kerala Team. Understand the situation you Chennai Super Kings? Or India Cements your players are under your thumb! So, please give them a squeeze like squeezing a lemon! Ignore all Chennai players and take some players from other states. When we talk about Chennai Super Kings, we are talking about players that can never make it to the national team anytime.

The Chennai selection stigma seems to be a real one. Chennai players are not that talented and they lack ability to make it to the national team. There is no politics in the selection committee. You guys are not talented at all. This is the one and only chance you have to prove yourselves from where you can make it to the National Team. Don't you know how to utilize that?

The Rajasthan Royals played decent cricket when they went out to bat. But the Chennai Super Kings rather started off well. They scored at a good rate from where they could have accelerated onto a win. Why was the Chennai Super Kings lazy enough to score the big shots? The Chennai Super Kings players seem like ones who just came out of the bed. Subramaniam Badrinath seems to be a player like Rahul Dravid (Dravid is classy) and he never looks like one who scores the big runs.

Classy players can adapt to any format but Subramaniam Badrinath is more of a Test or One-Day player. Why do not the Chennai Super Kings players score boundaries when they have chances to win the game? Why do they let the required run rate go to impossible levels? One of my friends was talking about "Match Fixing in IPL" which I shrugged off as an impossibility.

But why do they let the asking rate go through the roof`when they can consolidate with that rate scoring at the required rate? How are they going to get it by letting the required run rate go up? It is a real waste of time to talk about Chennai Super Kings who look like a real maidan cricket players who lose out to the local area teams! No scores, nothing this time.

A real waste of time to look for scores and accurate details. To mark this sad day, I may not want to post any pictures and waste time. Let us see, if I do. But there is nothing more to post of Chennai super kings. Actions and images will not be any inspiring. The Chennai Super Kings players look like one that suffers serious inferiority complex.

Advice for India Cements and Chennai Super Kings

The Chennai Super Kings look like a earthworm who can easily be overpowered under any shoes even when a kid slaps at it with its shoes! One good advice for the Chennai Super Kings owners India Cements! Please sell the team or dissolve the team, if you are not able to manage the team. We will make a lot of jokes on Chennai Super Kings if they lose matches again and we will eventually stop watching.

Let Chennai and Tamil Nadu not be humiliated with your game play. Please save our faces before it gets too late. Chennai Super Kings team is dumb! Chennai Super Kings team is an utter humiliation to Tamil Nadu and Chennai! Please remove the team from IPL!
