There is a lot of bullshitting
about the Chennai Super Kings over HOW they make it to the playoffs every
season. N Srinivasan scripts all of CSK’s wins from his bathroom, politics,
blah blah blah. While there is no denying that the IPL is full of controversy,
why is that CSK always paraded as the team to hate just because they are so
good? Now, I am from the same state but that’s not the reason why I like the
CSK. So for all the losers who hate CSK, read this if you have any idea how a
premier league has to be played. For those who love CSK, here are ten seasons
to know why.
1. CSK is the only team to
embrace the concept of a domestic league in the right way. There is a very
CHENNAI flavor in every aspect of CSK. The ‘Whistle Podu’ theme BELONGS to
Chennai. Isn’t there one flavor that you can connect to a Mumbai or a Kolkatta
or a Jaipur? Do Punjabis really need Priety Zinta to dance for them..? What
crap?
2. CSK is the only team to have
embraced the concept of a club properly. Faf Du Plessis was an unknown when CSK
signed him 2 years ago. Now he’s our leading scorer. That’s what successful EPL
teams to. That’s what we do.
3. The dressing room of CSK is
widely known as the happiest of all if IPL teams. The pranks, the way newcomers
are made comfortable is a mark of great teams.
4. When CSK plays and a batsman
hits a four, they don’t have to show Shah Rukh Khan clapping, when a six is
hit, they don’t have to show the Shetty sisters hugging or when a batsman gets
out they don’t have to show Priety Zinta cussing and discussing STRATEGY with
the coach. It’s strictly the players and the fans and that’s how it should be. The
lesser the distractions, the better the team.
5. After the recent incident
involving Shah Rukh Khan at the Wankhede Stadium, Juhi Chawla was quoted as
saying “If today Shah Rukh Khan were to
get upset and quit the IPL I wonder if there'd be any people watching the matches...
in Wankhede or any stadium.”
Seriously, if Wankhede comes to watch Shah Rukh Khan rather than
Sachin’s batting, then God save cricket.
6. Despite the dash of IPL, Chennai still and
will remain the most knowledgeable of all crowds in India. That’s a mark of
fans who will remain loyal to CSK all life. If you think about it you will
understand what I am saying. Remember, Sachin was booed once in Mumbai. That
will never happen to any cricketer in Chennai (Except Virat Kohli when he plays
for RCB)
7. As a team, CSK is not
dependent on one player like how RCB have in Gayle and Kolkatta in Gambir.
Every time we find some player finishing it in tight situations. Morkel, Bravo,
Dhoni, it’s a finishing line up to dream.
8. One of the most important
factors is how well the local lads and generally the Indian players have played
for us. Vijay, Badri, Anirudha, Ashwin and Balaji have all won games for us.
Name one team that has so many local lads in their team and doing well. Add to
that Raina and Dhoni. So the over dependence on overseas players is negated in
CSK.
9. Harsha Bhogle tweeted this
after the last season win he said “Eventually the best team, the best
organized, the best selected and the best led won the IPL and that is how it
should be”. Need anything more to say.
10. Actually, there is one more
thing to say… “We are the Bloody Champs” Grow Up you losers!
Distracters talk about N
Srinivasan’s role in the team and his influence as the BCCI’s big fish. Let me
clarify. His India Cements Company is involved with cricket for 60 years now.
They are responsible for bringing up players like Rahul Dravid. So here’s the
thing… N Srinivasan is the president of the most powerful cricket board in the
world. Would u credit every Indian Win as his script?
The truth is CSK, even for IPL’s
short history has to go through these phases like how great teams go through.
Barcelona is constantly accused of diving despite the beautiful football they
play. The Australian Cricket Team was accused of too much sledging when they
dominated world cricket. But didn’t they change the way cricket was played?
Like those great teams, we will endure and play the way like only we can and
whistle the way like only we can. Go CSK Go..!
