CSK giving 2020 vibes.

When IPL comes , I wait for Thala memes yeahh

Yawning.

I think RCB should be officially declared a pilgrimage for flop players. If someone from Indian team is not performing well, send them to RCB and after a season or two he is ready to be the next star.

Umesh was a good powerplay bowler. RCB did not use him properly.

Since Dhoni was retained as the 2nd player (which is 12 crores), when Dhoni calls it a day, CSK get 12 crores added to their purse.

Here is a question: What was the reason behind retaining Dhoni?

In the last few years, his batting hasn't been the same. I'd never question his leadership or keeping skills. Now that he is no longer captaining the team, I am not sure if spending 12 crores on him was the right move. Especially if you're trying to build a team for the next few years, I can also understand Dhoni's importance to the brand and the revenue he will bring. They could, however, have offered him a mentoring role, so Dhoni could still be part of the team, and they could have used the 12 crores to acquire a couple of good young players at the auction. I don't even want to go into their reasoning behind buying players like Bravo and Uthappa.

Jadeja has been a great player recently, but I wouldn't say he is a leader.

MSD fifty will make lots of CSK fans happy tonight... Even they lose, tomorrow fans definitely celebrate Dhoni fifty through watsapp status...

 

[SaiSrini]

Jadeja is not cut out for No. 5! With Dhoni showing signs of a return to form, Dhoni should bat at 5. When Moeen is back, things should settle for CSK. This game is a goner, even Fleming implicitly acknowledged it in the mid innings chat with BAZ.

That ending flourish should please ppl a lot!

Well well well… are you watching it now?

Can Adam Milne give the overs, which CSK need in power play?... Or Tushar will surprise us?...

Someone just shut a thousand mouths there!

Jadeja at 5 means putting him in the category of Maxwell,Stoinis, Stokes, etc. Jadeja is not even close to them.

And he scored more runs and took more wickets than those 3.

When?

Absolutely! Jadeja is at his best, when he has 2-3 overs left in the innings. Anything earlier, and he struggles. He’s not a “hustle and bustle” batsman like Dhoni.

Jadeja always a good batsman... He scored 2 or 3, 300+ in Ranji Trophy in his earlier days, unfortunately he didn't get the chance to bat at that position in INDIA or in CSK...

When?

In IPL, Jadeja have scored more runs than Maxwell, Stoinis & Stokes. And he also got more wickets. Maxwell was an IPL failure before last season, while Stoinis hasn't fired much. Stokes have been really average with his returns.
