Chennai Super Kings Preview 2019

Posted by rahulrazak on March 20th, 2019

The yellow army is coming. It's time to look once again as the Chennai Super Kings by some distance whatever metric you choose they've been the team of the IPL. They played nine times, they've made the playoffs every year, made seven finals, they've won three times. They know how to play the IPL. Sometimes they sneak into the playoffs, sometimes they march into the playoffs, but Dhoni and Chennai Super Kings know how to play the IPL. MS Dhoni, the skipper will be key run scorer in the team.

Last year the first game that I saw in Chennai was one of the most emotional things I have seen in my years covering cricket, as all of Chennai just seemed to gather around that Chennai Super Kings team. I thought it was criminal that they only played one game there. CSK have to be in Chennai, they play well there, but it's also one of the highlights of the IPL.

Over four times they crossed two hundred, they have a batting average of 35, they had 145 sixes. Every time there was a tense moment; their players stood up whether it was a Watson or Faf Duplessis or DJ Bravo. Dhoni knows how to make teams out of players, and we saw that last year. They had 11 Man of the Match Awards they won by eight different players.

They've got Deepak Chahar, one of the best among the Indian fast bowlers. Lungi indeed could be an outstanding t20 player, so he's around. They've got an excellent Indian backing core, and that's important as we've often talked about in the IPL they've got Suresh Raina who's one of the great IPL players.

Bravo's in there as well, he'll bowl two or three overs, and the one thing to watch out for is will Shane Watson ball, and the reason I ask this is Dhoni likes to carry options onto the ground. He then looks at the situation and decides who should go.
