The IPL is designed to NOT have calm waters for too long – there is a mega auction that happens after every 3 seasons, with one to happen before the
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – IPL 2021
Chennai Super Kings had a relatively quiet and predictable auction in which they looked to fill their ‘perceived’ gaps in the all-rounder department and add a batsman or two. I say ‘perceived’ because personally, I don’t feel they needed any more all-rounders than the ones they had, certainly not at the eventual price tag.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) – IPL 2020
There’s nothing characteristically different in this CSK squad. They have once again put their weight behind experience – in terms of age and in terms of number of IPL matches played.

If you think so too, much of the blame can be accredited to the fact that this is the first time in its 12-year history that the IPL, the ICC Cricket World Cup and India’s General Elections are occurring in the same year.
BCCI – the stubborn child who has learned to say “no”.
Well, folks, this is the answer to the question “What plans for 31st (of December)?” And honestly, at the risk of sounding like the fox who the grapes sour, this is far more refreshing than what could have been. It is almost that India’s exceptional on-field performance comes at a time when BCCI is imploding. …
