On this Day in 2011, @ChennaiIPL won the 2nd Ever IPL Title

Here is the thread on how our Players contributed to retain the glory at our very own Anbuden.

#DhoniNeverTires

He was a local boy. He was given a chance to perform & opened the innings for the 1st time. He scored a crucial 64 runs in the very 1st game against KKR in Chennai that ensured a victory and thereby he won Man of the Match. He is Aniruddha Srikanth.

There was not a stable opening partner for Vijay. Waited for a perfect replacement of Matthew Hayden. Then he was given the responsibility. In the end, he raised as the leading run scorer of our team with 498 runs during the end of tournament. He was Michael Hussey.

One can't simply stop this local lad if he takes off into the mode of aggression. He always contribute to the team and scores big runs. In fact,he was the 1st player to score runs in 90s in IPL. He amassed 434 runs & hit 4 Fifties with MOM in IPL Final. He is Murali Vijay.

He never lets the team down during pressurized sitituations. He bever failed to perform in big stages. He always goes inside out when need to score big & slogs to the long on during death overs. He aggregated 434 runs & hit 4 fifties & 2nd highest for CSK. He is Suresh Raina.

He hasn't won Man of the Match during that season. He bats at No.4,5 & 6 based on the situation. His knocks were the top during losing matches. A true warrior who shows great patience during pressurized situations. He scored 396 runs with 5 IPL 50. He is Subramaniam Badrinath.

This was his routine. He needs to hit big sixes during batting & take big wickets while opening the bowling. He is the one who brings victory for our team outta nowhere. He stays calm everytime in pressure stages. He took 15 wickets with ball that season. He is Albie Morkel.

He was new to our team. He is not given the role of finishing the job a lot. He didn't played a lot of games for CSK that season. Till he utilized the opportunities he got with both bat & ball. His slower ones in death overs were one of the successful ones. He is Dwayne Bravo.

He control the runs flow in middle overs. He opens the bowling & take the wickets of biggest fishes. He bravely performs in biggest stages & strong enough to bowl in death overs. He had an economy of 6.16 & took 20 wickets which is most wickets for CSK. He is Ravichandran Ashwin.

He opens along with Albie Morkel. Yeah in bowling. One Aussie win the games in batting with his quality knocks. This Aussie win us the game with classical spells & stays as X-Factor during defending the opponent. He took 16 wickets which is 2nd most for CSK.He is Doug Bollinger.

If Badrinath was the one who saves some matches with batting, then it was him who saves some matches with bowling. He bowls everytime in middle overs. He takes wickets & control tuns with left arm finger spin. He takes daddy wickets in crucial moments. He is Shadab Jakati.

He didn't played lot of games then after this one. He was given an situation to defend 9 runs off last over. The captain backed him & so the players. He didn't disappointed us & won us the game by 2 runs where he also picked a wicket. He is Tim Southee.

During the last league match of CSK vs Kochi, wew were struggling to add runs at one point.Then this middle order batsman came in & scored 46 runs which helped to register a competitve total in first innings & helped us to win.He was also rewarded with MOM.He is Wriddhiman Saha.

& Finally, he won the trophy for our nation after 28 years. He played that season with a new look. He played aggressive while batting & did his job while keeping. He mastered his captaincy better than the previous won tournamnents. He scored 392 runs with bat,

(Contd.)

Did 14 dismisslas by donning the gloves & took care of our team by commanding the team behind the stumps every time. He remained calm at any junctures. He finished many game for us. He won it for 2nd time for us. He relieved the glory yet again. He was our Captain Cool MS Dhoni!

CSK everytime used to win at the last moment let it be in batting and bowling. But this qas the season which they prepared well to play against each teams. 2011 was something where they dominated better than anyone & I was supprting during age of 11. Long live CSK Memories.
