Looking back in time: CSK are like the New York Yankees
I am a New York Yankees fan. They were the only Baseball team I had known about before I came to the U.S. 14 years ago and it was natural that I would start following them once I decided to follow Baseball. I needed to follow American sports on TV #Chennai Super Kings #IPL 5 #IPL FanBlogs #IPL6 Fan Blogs #N Srinivasan #New York Yankees

IPL qualifier: CSK’s Cinderella act has run its course
The Chennai Super Kings had their fate in their hands. They needed to beat Kings XI Punjab and get in to a comfortable playoff position but failed to do so. They were dependent on the results of the other three games to go their way. Two of them were likely #Chennai Super Kings #Delhi Daredevils #IPL 5 #IPL FanBlogs #Morne Morkel

IPL: Why Mumbai Indians will eliminate Chennai Super Kings
A power packed batting line up; an all-time legend whose game can adjust to to any format; batsmen that can launch the cricket ball into the stratosphere with a flick of the wrist; a superstar specialist bowler who can crush the batsman’s toes at will; a young batsman who can #Chennai Super Kings #IPL FanBlogs #Mahendra Singh Dhoni #Mumbai Indians #Sachin Tendulkar

For Chennai Super Kings, this IPL is almost over
Done and Dusted. Almost. The chances are pretty slim. Let’s look forward to 2013 already. Let’s use the remaining three games to see whether Sudeep Tyagi and Doug Bollinger are worth carrying in the squad or any reinforcements need to be brought in for next year. Hopeless.

Here’s why CSK and RCB are stuck in neutral
Two Franchises, Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, finalists from IPL 4, loaded with talent are but stuck in neutral. In fact they are regressing. The results on the field aren’t reflective of the strength of the squads on paper. These are teams that would have prominently figured in #Chennai Super Kings #Indian Premier League #IPL 5 #IPL FanBlogs #Mahendra Singh Dhoni #Suresh Raina

For the Mumbai Indians, Harbhajan has been a disaster
The Mumbai Indians–Kings XI Punjab match had an important ingredient that made it as entertaining it turned out to be. No, I’m not talking about monster hits or that the match see-sawing all the way to its end; it was the mind-numbingly bad bowling in the death (Mumbai gave away #Captain #Harbhajan Singh #IPL 5 #IPL FanBlogs #Mumbai Indians

Luck of the dice went Chennai’s way
As the intended mow by Ravindra Jadeja off the last ball of the innings took a healthy edge and ran to the boundary, Sudeep Tyagi and Suresh Raina ran on to the field as if they were blasted out of a cannon.

Dear Gambhir, why sulk?
Let me get the positives out first. Gautam Gambhir, the man who was in line for captaincy of the Indian national team but not anymore, cares about his and his team’s performance in the IPL.

Whistle Podu… you and I both know CSK will win it all
Most calm captain in the competition? Check. Coolest fan campaign in the league? Check. Quality spinners? Check. Bashers in the middle order? Check. Aggressive openers? Check. Powerful allrounders? Check. Even without mentioning the upside of having a certain BCCI honcho who also is the owner of the franchise, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) look quite #Chennai Super Kings #Indian Premier League #IPL 5 #IPL FanBlogs #Mahendra Singh Dhoni
