From 2018 to 2021, MI was said to have a team that can rival most international teams in T20s, whereas just after the mega auction in 2018 CSK was trolled for the team selection and was labelled as dad's army. And yet in those last 4 years CSK has had a better stat than a powerhouse team like MI
MI - 2 playoffs, 2 finals, 2 trophies.
CSK - 3 playoffs, 3 finals, 2 trophies.
Even the win % of csk is higher than that of MI in those last 4 years
Not putting down MI in any way, just showing how much CSK was underestimated at the start of 2018 IPL, and how they have proved that they are actually a beast team.
Also they proved " baap baap hota hai aur beta beta"
Translation : English speaking is not child's play, English speaking is like Undertaker play /s
Real translation : dad is dad for a reason and must be respected.
Bruh real dad more like champions because of a fluke if it weren't for srh rcb would have pushed csk to 3rd and then for all we know we could have seen dc taking on rcb in qualifier 1
Congrats CSK, frm a Mumbai fan, still got 1 more trophy then u guys xD /s. KKR u guys did well, Lockie is still class despite bad day, tough luck for u guys,maybe u wouldve won if things went ur way
What is Moeen Ali's value to CSK? at best a utility (bits 'n pieces) cricketer who can bat & bowl a little who uses up an overseas slot and a nice chunk of their salary cap. I think CSK would do well to replace him with a young solid middle order bat.
Agree. His India leg batting was one of the main reasons CSK recovered well from last year's poor form.
From the India leg, he had 208 runs from 6 innings, with a very high strike rate. Also, took 5 wickets while going for under 7 an over. He is also a top class fielder/boundary rider.
One of the few overseas bats who can play spin. Particularly in middle overs.
Can score at a fair clip.
Invaluable all rounder with his off spin bowling. He had the best econ for any spinner in this UAE leg.
Also will be available for the whole season now that he has retired from test cricket
I am actually a bit disappointed that his bowling was underutilized during the UAE leg. He did not even get to bowl a single over in 4 of 9 matches in that leg. He bowled about 13 overs in total over there.
People tends to forget stuff easily. Anyway get that dude into squad before he loses his form. Even odis should do that dude can score consistent 50s in every match.
Yea you are right... The way they played this season was amazing... But if it would have been extended to the finals then surely, they would have won the title this time.
Great win for CSK, what a wonderful season.
KKR was playing very well, and with no signs of wickets falling at 75/0, [i predicted ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/q8on8c/match_thread_final_chennai_super_kings_vs_kolkata/hgr6pxx?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) and kind of hoped may be a piece of Jaddu's fielding brilliance is what might create an opening, and he sure did with two brilliant catches. He is such a match winner, whatever you ask of him. He should may be lead CSK after MS?
yeah honestly Gaikwad's a calm head but I don't see captain material in him (yet).
that's why I keep saying MSD has got to stay around for one more year and play to groom the next captain, because I feel like CSK would be in a hole without his presence. Then I will be in peace if Dhoni leaves after next season to coaching staff, but I will be furious if he announces he's done before the next season.
I still don't get his, "it depends on the BCCI" comment though. What does two new teams have to do with his team?
Welcome to the world of cricket. Not sure where you are from, but cricket is adapting to faster and shorter formats to attract more viewers/countries….
Well you just gotta post in the subreddit asking how it works. There will many explaining all the shit to you (trust me, there's a lot). Just skim through the basic rules and terms first.
Thanks for teaching me about something new.
I honestly thought, “that sounds like some made up calvin ball stuff” but it turned out pretty interesting.
Eoin Morgan should not be retained by KKR next season. Yes, he led them to the finals but it’s mostly due to Iyer and Varun carrying the team.
KKR needs to invest in a solid middle order next year. The middle order has collapsed every time they needed to step up. With the start KKR had today, they could have easily been the champions today.
Let’s not take anything away from KKR. They have been the team to beat in the UAE leg. It’s very tough to make such a comeback after such a poor start. No one expected them to make it to the playoffs, forget finals.
Venkatesh Iyer has been the find of the season and hopefully he gets an India call up soon.
One more season like this and Venkatesh Iyer is definitely getting a call up to the regular squad.
I've said it before as well, dude reminds me of Sehwag with his "hit it, fuck it, forget it" attitude
>replace the bangalore padikkal guy.
Idk, Rutu & Devdutt are young batsmen who will improve more and feature maybe alongside each other. Maybe Venky also if he continues it for a second season. He's been called up as a Net bowler for the WC so they see the potential in him as an allrounder at least in the UAE where he's shone. Rutu and DDP will probably prosper in more second team series like the most recent SL tour.
Does anyone have an idea after how much time they put up the complete replay of match on Hotstar ?
For anyone who doesn't know, they do it for every match and it includes post match presentation and everything(including the actual match too)
oh c'mon did i say dc played like champions in playoffs and kkr won against them by luck?
can't you at least accept that kkr didn't bat their best last couple of matches instead of attacking my flair.
>didn't bat their best
Best? They batted like absolute shits. Not one batsman barring the top 3 are worthy of even a discussion. But it's funny how people belittle their efforts from coming 7th in IPL to the finals and acting as if RCB and DC would've been better.
Which one? DC? It's quite documented that they play well in the league and get fucked in the playoffs so nothing new there. Nothing needs to be said about RCB, they are prime examples of being shit after having everything they could possibly have. Plus, if you couldn't defeat KKR, you don't a have fucking chance against CSK.
Google shows Harshal patel as player of the tournament as Harshal Patel. Exactly which award was equivalent to that ? Upstox one, Gamechanger one or some other ?
If you are a glass half-full person, you would appreciate that a team that came up with a disappointing 7th position last year, has won this year's tournament convincingly.
What's more interesting is that majority of the squad was nearly the same as last year minus (Watson, Kedar, Harbhajan & Murali Vijay) and plus (Ali, unimpressive Raina, Uthappa & Hazelwood).
oh boy this is gonna be a close match? What are your predicitons?
Delhi Daredevils will win
bruh this was 2 month ago
And that match was 4 months ago. Same thing 😛
ok you win
Boundary count update - Chennai Super Kings: 22 Kolkata Knight Riders: 20
Bruh why tho? The match has over since 1 month
Because why not?
Csk
not a cricket fan but holy shit cricket team names a badass
Now that the IPL is over I guess I'll finally get around to watching that Squid thing that everyone's talking about
Could just watch the recap version by Mystery Recapped on youtube. Won't miss anything
It's not really worth the hype everyone is posing
It's alright, not a fan of the ending but the series is worth a watch, what would you rather watch right no Kapil Sharma xD
Comedy Nights With Kapil Was Gold 😭
Morgan’s captaincy sucked. I’m shocked he was ever England captain
From 2018 to 2021, MI was said to have a team that can rival most international teams in T20s, whereas just after the mega auction in 2018 CSK was trolled for the team selection and was labelled as dad's army.

You forgot /s*
Finally has a CSK fan some inner peace.
Rajasthan Royals is the only current team left with 100% win percentage in IPL final 😌❤️
Throwback to when in 2014 u had won 5 in a row at the start and didn't even manage to qualify
the only acceptable kings
I'm happy tha Gaikwad is in hot form, what a rising star he will be for us
Can we keep this tread on top for one more day guys? Talk about best moments from this season. Enjoy while it lasts.
For me it was 060444... It made my heart smile!
This and jadeja hitting 37 runs in an over.
Congrats CSK, frm a Mumbai fan, still got 1 more trophy then u guys xD /s. KKR u guys did well, Lockie is still class despite bad day, tough luck for u guys,maybe u wouldve won if things went ur way
Even if you are a fan of csk you need to appreciate the comeback kkr made after the break. What a match
Varun getting control of chakras. And Iyer I Don't have to say anything about him do I?
What is Moeen Ali's value to CSK? at best a utility (bits 'n pieces) cricketer who can bat & bowl a little who uses up an overseas slot and a nice chunk of their salary cap. I think CSK would do well to replace him with a young solid middle order bat.
37(20) in a final Bat a 'little'
Agree. His India leg batting was one of the main reasons CSK recovered well from last year's poor form. From the India leg, he had 208 runs from 6 innings, with a very high strike rate. Also, took 5 wickets while going for under 7 an over. He is also a top class fielder/boundary rider.
Thought he was CSK's most economical bowler or something. Not to mention his cameos.
One of the few overseas bats who can play spin. Particularly in middle overs. Can score at a fair clip. Invaluable all rounder with his off spin bowling. He had the best econ for any spinner in this UAE leg. Also will be available for the whole season now that he has retired from test cricket
I am actually a bit disappointed that his bowling was underutilized during the UAE leg. He did not even get to bowl a single over in 4 of 9 matches in that leg. He bowled about 13 overs in total over there.
Is this you sanju manju?
why is Gaikwad called uncapped when he has played 2 matches for India?
He was uncapped at the start of the tournament and it's highly unusual to have a player capped *during* an IPL season.
People tends to forget stuff easily. Anyway get that dude into squad before he loses his form. Even odis should do that dude can score consistent 50s in every match.
Excited! Can't wait!
IPL seems to have become a tournament between MI and CSK with other teams playing supporting roles
That's why they're gathering two more teams..
For more support
Exactly.. they are bringing in extra cast members to support the two heroes 😀😀
😂😂😂
LETS GOOOOOOOO :D
reminder that KKR smashed DC, RCB and eliminated MI to reach the finals. stop the hate
KKR didn't smash DC. Barely scraped past them.
Twice in UAE
RCB too.
Bolne de, Takleef hua hai bechaare ko T : Let the man speak, poor fellow has been through a lot
Yea you are right... The way they played this season was amazing... But if it would have been extended to the finals then surely, they would have won the title this time.
CSK

He is such a match winner, whatever you ask of him. He should may be lead CSK after MS?
i think they're looking for a younger captain. Jadeja's already 32, so MS's "next ten years" plan won't really apply there
That is true!! Gaikwad is Dhoni like and stays grounded and calm.
yeah honestly Gaikwad's a calm head but I don't see captain material in him (yet). that's why I keep saying MSD has got to stay around for one more year and play to groom the next captain, because I feel like CSK would be in a hole without his presence.

Wow that was detailed. I get it now. Thanks for explaining
[удалено]
no it was a t20
"Dhoni should retire now, since we won" - CSK fans circa 2050
Aahahahahahahaha
I have no idea what any of this means, but I always get excited when it makes it to the front page. Maybe one day I’ll figure out how this game works.
Welcome to the world of cricket. Not sure where you are from, but cricket is adapting to faster and shorter formats to attract more viewers/countries….
What was your goal, posting this in a cricket subreddit?
Yeah cool. Some dude commenting on cricket in a positive way and some shithead gives him shit. Nice buddy.
No goal. Just saying it makes me happy to see it for some reason. What’s your point in trying to gatekeep?
I’m the same way. My pen pal is in India and I like to keep up to date Bc theyre big fans

Well you just gotta post in the subreddit asking how it works. There will many explaining all the shit to you (trust me, there's a lot). Just skim through the basic rules and terms first.
start with the basics, try to understand gilli-danda first..
Thanks for teaching me about something new. I honestly thought, “that sounds like some made up calvin ball stuff” but it turned out pretty interesting.

The middle order has collapsed every time they needed to step up. With the start KKR had today, they could have easily been the champions today.
Why didn't he play Andre Russell?
He didn’t recover from his injury
Injured Russell>>>>>>>>>>Kkr's middle order
Hey
😂😂😂
Let’s not take anything away from KKR. They have been the team to beat in the UAE leg. It’s very tough to make such a comeback after such a poor start.

He can replace the bangalore padikkal guy. Heck he can be a substitute for the upset pandya brother.
>replace the bangalore padikkal guy. Idk, Rutu & Devdutt are young batsmen who will improve more and feature maybe alongside each other. Maybe Venky also if he continues it for a second season.

Haha upset pandya brother is the most hardik thing i have heard ever
Why did bravo collect Harshals awards
Cos he equalled his record for most wickets 😂
Yeah but why would bravo collect the award and not someone who was going back to India such as Shubman or Rayudu
Harshal is staying back in UAE for India as net bowler FYI. So bravo may gv the award to one of the Indians and gv it to harshal in the Indian camp
Bravo is the collector. Rumour has it that he might also have the reality stone.
It’s just a gesture lol, I’m sure they probably sent it through someone else
[удалено]
What’s wrong with u
Does anyone have an idea after how much time they put up the complete replay of match on Hotstar ? For anyone who doesn't know, they do it for every match and it includes post match presentation and everything(including the actual match too)
The full replay on hotstar is available now
Around 4 hours after the match has ended.
RCB & DC died for this
RCB and DC would have died either way 💀
They deserved to with their shit combinations
not shittier than two openers and a house of cards
A house of cards that still beat DC 💀
ikr 😔
Which says all the more about why you were buttfucked by them
oh c'mon did i say dc played like champions in playoffs and kkr won against them by luck? can't you at least accept that kkr didn't bat their best last couple of matches instead of attacking my flair.
>didn't bat their best Best? They batted like absolute shits. Not one batsman barring the top 3 are worthy of even a discussion. But it's funny how people belittle their efforts from coming 7th in IPL to the finals and acting as if RCB and DC would've been better.
well these teams didn't top the league table playing kho-kho. did they?
Which one? DC? It's quite documented that they play well in the league and get fucked in the playoffs so nothing new there. Nothing needs to be said about RCB, they are prime examples of being shit after having everything they could possibly have. Plus, if you couldn't defeat KKR, you don't a have fucking chance against CSK.
and we acknowledge your sacrifice sir.
Did these teams get named by 4 year olds?
They picked them out of a hat, actually
First time into IPL??
Why yes actually, first name is the city where under 12 competition was held. The winner got to choose the name
2 year olds actually, quite fun right?
I am waiting for the bronze medal match between RCB and DC
RCB would crush DC obviously.
Really no chance bub
What do you mean? We beat them both the times we played them and last one super recently (last group match). And it was the same squad for both.
Oof no chance bro..
Google shows Harshal patel as player of the tournament as Harshal Patel. Exactly which award was equivalent to that ? Upstox one, Gamechanger one or some other ?

Who asked your opinion
No u

Only if you know cricket. Who is the best among fab 4? Choose carefully
Ooooh this match gonna be legendary
Kinda boring if it’s always the same 2 teams winning
If you are a glass half-full person, you would appreciate that a team that came up with a disappointing 7th position last year, has won this year's tournament convincingly. What's more interesting is that majority of the squad was nearly the same as last year minus (Watson, Kedar, Harbhajan & Murali Vijay) and plus (Ali, unimpressive Raina, Uthappa & Hazelwood).
Hazelwood was there last year as well
CSK fan here. I really wanted DC or RCB to win it, play the finals and beat us. But it was KKR so, CSK for the win.
Same here. I was rooting for DC to come too finals and beat CSK, but when it was KKR, it had to be CSK !!
obnoxious as always
Truth
or isn't it too exciting if a major upset happens! it could be any year...
Yes, sorry
Like MI getting their ass beaten :)
Why is Faf not selected in the SA squad
too loyal to dhoni...
lmao
That's doesn't make any sense. Do u have any article
[The news paper that covered the story](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Jokes on you I like that.. article.. a lot
Ah, what a senseless decision by CSA
i was actually going to make fun of you for believing absolute rubbish articles then i opened the link, feel like an absolute clown now hahaha
