oh yess!!!!champak chaampak chapaang champak gili gili haan gili gili haan..
IPL season 6 has already started...its yellow fever everywhere in and around chennai...
especially when you are at CHEPAUK,also called as fortress chepauk,its the time u could hear all the "whistle podu's","raise ur hand'ss","DHONI DHONI DHONI" like a mantra..
and me a crazy chennai super kings fanite , would definitely like CSK to win the match against our rivals mumbai indians MI..it was a close match..yess..
when dhoni was at the crease holding his bat, 149 couldnt be much difficult..he was on fire i would say..
but the fortune ties worn by west indies players playing for mumbai team ,favoured them to send dhoni off the crease ethereally at the last over,which led them to their first win this season..
DHONI-One Man Army
though chennai team has lost its first match against mumbai,i would say dhoni will bring us the cup again..
he is the best..haters gonna hate,but the stats shows us that he is the champ..
history cannot be obliterated,
and out of five season csk were two times champions..we all know that!!
coming to yesterday's match,it was awesome i would say..the crowd here in chennai was unrivaled..
where the mumbai team won the toss and chose to bat,one could not facilely digest seeing the legends taking the centrestage..yess..its Ricky Ponting and the God himself SACHIN TENDULKAR..
but the sad part is both were sent off the crease within their first three overs..
i say this
"be a csk crazy fanite,mi ,dd ,sunrisers,rajasthan or whatever!!everyone gets disappointed watching SACHIN getting out for a duck"
and next it was punter ,and intermittently wickets do fell apart..Pollard gave them a wonderful innings
and made a total of 149 for the lions to chase..
however early wickets caused dearly for chennai super kings,Dhoni made an outstanding performance but his heroism went in vain when pollard took his catch at the boundary line leaving chennai no hope to win..
