Payback is given! Properly.... ;)

They were 2 times champions of IPL; they were the champions of champions league 2010; they were the heartbeat of every chennaites and yellow bleeding guys all over the world;

But, but, there were some unfinished businesses: they lost to KKR in finals on 2013, they were defeated by Kings XI 3 times this year. The one unfinished business was successfully completed 2days before, as how I explained in the last blog post here

So today, the match started with evenly poised predictions; in Twitter the ratings were read as 52-48, favouring KKR. 

KKR was batting first, in one position of the game 200 was reachable for them. 

But pavan Negi bowled very well. To the surprise of all, the man who thinks different, Dhoni, brought in the spinner at the penultimate over; and to delight his captain's thought, he made it count and went for just 2 runs with 3 wickets! 

They scored 180 runs, which is just a little more than average in chinnaswamy stadium Bangalore.

Then started the CSK innings. As usual, smith was off to a brisky start and ended up to a slow Yorker of Aussie young quick, Pat cummins! Thereafter, until the end of the match, CSK was more composed to the chase. 

It was that man Raina! My favourite! He was dealing in sixes mostly, gave no respect to piyush chawla, didn't treat him as a bowler at all, hit him for 2 sixes in his first over. It was a treat to watch his stroke play and the movement of his legs. He handled the pressure and KKR's bowlers very well and finally went on to make his century!!!! That too as unbeaten!

Suresh was supported nicely by Brendon Maccullum, and in death overs by dhoni, who promoted himself to 2 down. 

Almost all the KKR bowlers hit everywhere. If you are a CSK fan, it was all so easy with those 8 sixes from Raina and those 2 helicopters from Dhoni! 

And finally it was so clear that KKR came all the way to finals just because of Sunil Narine! Otherwise they are not at all near to even Kings XI. 

So it's a beautiful Saturday night for me then, where the payback is given so nicely! The message for every haters of CSK, don't mess up with us! We comeback strong and strong. We have consistent players, we got a good captain in Dhoni with best players like Raina, Baz, Duplesis, Jaddu, Smith, etc

Nowadays the paybacks getting delivered soon as possible, yeah? ;)

Cheers!

CSK back again!

It was a match between arch rivals, a rivalry war for them, for the world it is a semi final of champions league.

After putting up a defending 182 on board with the help of Dwayne Bravo's onslaught, CSK started with Ashish Nehra against Virendar Sehwag and Vohra. 

When they started building a score, there was a mighty marvelous catch from point region by Brendon macullum to remove Sehwag! What a catch that was, that's the trouble other teams have when a team has two wicket keepers; they do field as how they keeping behind the stumps! And when you have world class fielders, who are ready to fly for every bowl towards them, what else a bowler needs? That's what happened with CSK bowlers, since their fieldsmen supported them to make their bad bowls into dots, they started delivering good lengths.
That was the first effort on field by Baz, later, twice Faf duplesis dropped catches, which are very much hard to take, Continued by a tremendous catch by him! 

Both Nehra and Mohit kept their lines streight and took 2 wickets each, with nehra took maxwell for a duck.

Then, as usual, Dhoni's golden touch worked once again with Pawan Negi, taking 2 wickets in his first over. Then came the chennai localide, Ashwin, taking 2 wickets in the same over, that of bailey and perera!

It was all happening for Chennai with beautiful bowling and hard and tight fielding. They had tightened their grip on Kings XI and by the time I'm typing this, its reading 91/9 with late assault from Raina, taking 2 wickets. 

What else you need, reserve your tickets for finals and keep calm and support CSK, the real kings, forever! The payback is given to Kings XI, scores read as 3-1 now, will be raised to 3-3 next IPL :D.

One more reason to be happy for, now that both Kings XI and Hurricanes are out of the tournament, all Aussie guys can fly to UAE for T20s against Pakistan and show the angry there 😀
