What CSK teach us other than to whistle!

Please don’t read this if you hate IPL ;)

Yes I do agree with the fact that IPL is more about business with the players and sponsors. But there is some part of it which brings out happiness and cheers to the passionate cricket fans.

IPL is something similar to the EPL of football, except the fact that IPL matches are played even during the week days with a full packed stadium.

“Everything in life is a learning experience.”

I learnt from the Chennai Super Kings many things that will be applicable for everyone in the real life.

First of all Brendon Mccullum nick named Baz, this man hasn’t showed any nervousness to the tough situations till now. Climate in New Zealand is some hundred times cooler when it compared to summer in Chennai. But this man just needs a chewing gum to adapt to the hot atmosphere. Playing as an opener he builds a strong foundation to the team’s batting unit.

#1 whatever thing we do, we need a good beginning. If the start is good then the job is half done.

Secondly the Caribbean all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, our captain believes in his death bowling capabilities and this man bowls his 4 overs in the last 8 overs of the match in most of the matches.  He never felt any pressure and the dance moves he makes during his celebrations was clearly a pressure reliever for every member in the team.

#2 Keep giving your best and enjoy every little success you accomplish on the route to your long term goal.  (If possible dance during your lovable moments ;))

Thirdly my most favorite person, Suresh Raina, we can’t count how much positive energy he is building up in the team through his playful cheer ups and appreciations he does to his team members. If Sir Jadeja saves a boundary in backward point he will be there patting him up, if Mohit sharma gets a leg before wicket he runs hard towards him and lifts him up. His presence makes the team energetic.

#3 Every team needs a positive catalyst, who groups and glues up the team members. This will bring out huge difference in the outcome of the team!

Sir Jadeja and Faf Duplesis are flexible players who can be used as per the team’s requirement. Both can bat at any position and field in any position. And more importantly Jaddu can complete bowling an over at lightning speed. This will increase the overall over rate of the team.

#4 Flexibility is a key factor which is essential for every successful team.

Then we have the leader who is someone entirely different from other captains and very unique in his plans. I don’t have to describe this man and his super cool character. Every team needs a leader who is capable of answering the silly questions of journalists at the post match presentations and press meet after that. Not only leading in front but this man is clearly a king in finishing up the innings through his helicopter shots. The term leader is different from ‘captain’. This MS Dhoni from Jharkhand is our super cool ‘Thala’

#5 No matter who the team members are, what the team strength is, every team needs a leader who keeps his head calm in tough times, performs the best when the team needs more and should be good in his words during his conversations with the media, as people have the habit of believing everything they read in popular magazines and everything they see in Flash news. The team’s character will have major cells and tissues built from its captain.

So Namma Chennai Super Kings ku Whistle Podu! ;)
