Yet again a nail bitting finish by MSD

It's again a spring season with IPL season is on and all the teams have almost completed the half of their elimination stage matches. RCB stands first on the table with 6 won of 8 matches, with Chris Gayle’s sudden sprout run rate to his team.  Chennai super kings also placed second on the table, despite of some nail biting finishes.

 
 

One should be confused by looking at the strategies of CSK, In every match they chase, they would give the confidence level to the opposite team during 16-18 over’s. Suddenly there is some miracle happening and the csk sees none but the victory. It's again a nail biting match finish from CSK captain yesterday. 67 runs from 37 deliveries, includes 7 fours and 4 sixes. Initially the team a good start with a decent partnership between M.Hussey and M.Vijay, later as the game proceeded wickets started fumble at regular intervals and the key batsman couldn't cope with the target. But there was a little hope to the home team, as the captain cool still stayed at the grease.

 

There was a stage where they needed run rate of 16 and the most hoped batman wicket went down as he tried for some big shots. Dhoni at the other end tries to capitalize the score by playing a brilliant innings.  The captain being a best finisher in the all formats of the game, once again ended the match in style. Undoing umpire’s decision in the last over for signaling the wide ball has proven his sportsmanship and the way he handled the situation at the end, without any pressures and excitement at the end, shows his leadership. This youth generation should learn certain qualities from such a class player.

IPL started with success of CSK

It was Ipl season 4 where Chennai kings roared again. The match kicked after a great inauguration in the Chennai home ground at MA Chidambaram Stadium, fitted with thousands of crowds all the famous stars showing their struts off. Bollywood actor sharukh khan was dancing for the locals and cherishing the crowd with some other south Indian beat. The game started with dhoni winning the toss for CSK and batted first, they set a target of 153 for 4 wickets down. Anirudh srikanth made half century with this stretched partnership and with bit luck. The New Zealander southee had a nerve biting over in the end of the innings which paved way for the super king’s success. The batting orders for KKR slipped off quickly than expected. Anyways, this season started with a style and continuing success of MSD.
