A little thread on why 2018 was the most complete CHENNAI SUPER KINGS title triumph ever. @ChennaiIPL

07/04/2020

The first ever match after 2 very long years our team took on MI.
A fairytale start to an amazing season. Thanks to our CHAMPION and Keadar. Needless to say that #ParashakthiExpress is literally us if we were on the field.

We were yet to make our mark in our home soil chennai & here comes KKR to take us on. So many speculations whether the match was even going to happen due to political reasons. #Thambisambi made sure he wasn't going to let that all go to vain and become an instant csk favourite.

Yes we announced our come back in the most CSKish way but there was something even better awaiting us. Even though we lost the match againg KXIP we all know we were happy just to see our #Thala in action. Vintage? More like his everyday business just resumed.

Too many emotions involved. CSK not able play in chennai, Watson playing against RR for the 1st time. Both came out as a rage & csk made sure they end the speculations there by showing that they weren't winning just by luck by scoring a massive 204 against RR led by Watson's 106

The duo that we didn't know we needed but ended up loving too much. Playing against our favourite opposition #SouthIndianDerby MS-Rayudu combo made sure we cross the line like always, leaving everyone including ourselves wonder how do they do it so perfectly every single time.

Even though we lost our second match against mi our #ChinnaThala didn't forget to let us know why he's the most successful batsman against one of the most successful franchise in IPL history by scoring 75 off just 47 deliveries.

Our second match against our favourite opposition. #RockStar jadeja gave one of the most memorable and unforgettable moment for us and of course for virat kohli himself and helped us wrap rcb up just for 127.

In our second match against srh is when Ambati Rayudu fully transitioned into #Bhagubali by scoring an unbeaten 100 from just 62 deliveries. His first ever IPL hundred after playing 100+ matches.

When everyone thought csk was all and only about spin Lungi Ngidi silently bowled one of the best spells in IPL and ended the match with the figures of 4-1-10-4.

The day when our very own superman gave us one more reason to love him even more by producing a match defining innings, one of the greatest ever IPL knock #Fafulou-ly taking our team into the finals for the record 7th time.

Just incase breaking into the finals after disappearing for 2 years when literally everyone kicked us down saying we were old, irrelevant and unfit to play cricket we made sure we show them why we are the best in the business by lifting the coveted trophy for the 3rd time.

This is the season where we didn't win by luck or didn't rely on a single players form, rather we won by collective team effort. We became a family and gave each other nickname which everyone loved to the dearest. We wanted to show who we are and what we are made of.

We were strong.
We were resilient.
We stood together in the toughest times.
We didn't move on.
We waited for what we loved.
In the end it was all to etch our name in the eternal glory.
#WhistlePodu for the greatest team in the greatest league.
