Chennai Super Kings are the Champions

Many considered the crowning of Chennai Super Kings as IPL-3 champions to be a fluke.
Dhoni has proved his critics to be wrong by leading his team to victory in the Champions League in South Africa.

Murali Vijay, Bollinger, Michel Hussey, Raina, Ashwin and Muralitharan have been instrumental in CSK's success. Obviously getting a place in Group-A was an added bonus with the weaker teams from Sri Lanka and New Zealand being present in it.

There was heart break in the match against Victoria, which CSK lost in the Superover. A remarkable victory defending a meagre total in the last group match against the warriors moved CSK into the semifinals. A rain curtailed semi against Royal Challengers Bangalore was made memorable as Suresh Raina went all hammer and tongs against the RCB bowlers. An injury to Dale Steyn while attempting a catch and a top-order batting failure 13/4 brought CSK into the finals.

Disciplined bowling and excellent fielding resulted in CSK defeating the South African Warriors. All-in-all a great performance by the men in yellow. The next edition of IPL with two more teams will see many members moving to other teams. This victory should boost Dhoni's confidence and help him face the Australians in the home series that will start in a few days.

As the theme song goes Dhoni Chennai Super Kings kku Whistle Podu

CSK Break the Jinx

CSK finally returned to winning ways with a power-packed knock by Murali Vijay.
CSK defeated RCB and chased down 163.
If CSK win all their remaining matches it will boil down to net run rate to place the fourth semi finalist.

Delhi Daredevils defeated Rajasthan Royals in another match courtesy a good knock by Dinesh Karthik.

Chennai Super Kings in the Doldrums

Chennai Super Kings were defeated by Rajasthan Royals about 25 minutes ago.

This means that CSK are in the seventh place just ahead of Kings XI punjab.

Shane Warne continues to inspire his team and lead from the front with consecutive victories.

IF CSK need to reach the semis they will have to win all their remaining matches from now on. That would be difficult.

My pick for the semis:

Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers, Royal Challengers Bangalore, the fourth place will be a fight between Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals though Kolkata Knightriders might pull a surprise or two.

IPL News

Things are pretty bad for Chennai, Kolkata, Rajasthan and Bangalore. The teams have performed horribly and with Hyderabad and Delhi comfortably perched at the top with Mumbai Indians following the leaders it is time for the other teams to perform.

Shahrukh and Shilpa must be fuming with the mediocre performances of their teams. Kings XI Punjab had bad weather spoil their chances but the other matches that they played they have done well.

To early to say anything but it looks like Delhi and Hyderabad are serious title contenders now. The way things are going the fourth semi-finalist will be the place which the teams will fight it out for as Mumbai Indians are likely to be the third semi-finalist.
