TSK's performance was very "down and up" in this tournament and it is to Conway and Miller contributions that they made it to the Top Two this year and also due to the extremely short nature of the tournament. They need way better contributions from the local players, who honestly look below average to me. Faf Du Plessis unfortunately had a horror of a season and that hurt big time. People in CSK circles go ga-ga over Santner, but he hasnt set the tournament on fire at all. Bravo was still lifting us up but an injury meant he wasnt there for the crucial game and it showed!
Hope they come back stronger next season with some smarter local picks. This is the first league where a Super Kings side is part of the league and they haven't made it to the final of the inaugural season of the league (CSK were in the final of IPL 2008; JSK was in the final of the SAT20 2023).
