There is something special about CSK which you don’t find in other IPL teams.
First of all its their no fuss attitude. Win or lose, its another game - not the end of the world. There is always a chance to do better next time. Led by the impeccable M. S. Dhoni, it is a team that has the right spirit and determination. A number of players have come and gone, but the core has never changed. Whoever comes in gets molded into Chennai style. No wonder they have the most fairplay awards.
There is a true fighting spirit in every player who is part of this team. Everyone strives to put their best foot forward.
Have you seen CSK last season? There was a steely determination in every player to prove themselves. Despite doing exceptionally well, Watson and Rayudu felt very bad when they got out to an unwanted shot. After a dismal performance with the ball in one match, Jadeja came back with a vengeance to give a fantastic man of the match performance. While batting, senior players like Dhoni, Faf, Bravo and Raina always helped out their partner with the right advice.
The players look out for each other. There is no ego. This team features a number of country captains yet they get along like a house on fire. Everyone encourages a struggling team mate. Bravo always comes up to help any new bowler. Rayudu & Bhajji from the deep provide hints about what balls to bowl to their bowlers. The fielders put in extra effort to encourage the bowler. The dugout is equally supporting.
Its a sunny and happy team. Just look at the way, the newcomers - Sam Billings, Watson, Tahir, Rayudu, Ngidi enjoyed their first stints. The camaraderie is just awesome. They take everyone into their fold and make them feel at home. It is a smiling and fun unit
A coaching team which has the likes of Fleming, Mike Hussey and Balaji who are extremely calm and knowledgeable add to the team’ss strength. Then there is Dhoni - the inspirational leader who leads from the front. He is one of the steadying factors for the sunny team of IPL.
One of the biggest reasons for their consistency is their non dependency on a single player. Everyone is a contributor and everyone is a key factor. When the going gets tough, someone will step up and come out with a winning performance.
Above all the team has a huge and loyal fan base, that is unflinching in its support for their team. Despite some crazy political moves that forced the games to be played at Pune instead of Chennai last season (2018 , there were fans for CSK all over the country who supported them overwhelmingly. A special train took fans from Chennai to Pune which showed how much people root for CSK.
I am an ardent fan of CSK because they represent my City and will always support them for they reflect the spirit of Chennai perfectly.
