And what do CSK do? Come back to UAE to finish this cycle off in style. A reversal for the periods. Just the right picks at the IPK transaction to give the fur depth that has made them the sixiest fur side, the quickest platoon in the middle overs and at the death, and now the IPL titleholders for a fourth time. They’ve put together a line-up with which Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni have been suitable to move their batters that 15 off 5 isn’t a failure. That’s how you get Robin Uthappa and Moeen Ali club the way they’ve maundered.
They’ve zero 145kmph-plus bowler, no wristspinner, no riddle incentive, no left-arm quick, but their protective bowling have been good enough with what their aggressive fur has done. Sixth title as captain for Dhoni. Sixteenth as a player for Bravo. Gaikwad, who lost half his season to Covid-19, is the loftiest run-getter. Du Plessis, not good enough supposedly to play for South Africa, is the alternate-loftiest Bravo was there brushing two overs for eight runs when effects were slipping down. Thakur with the lattices when the pressure was erected. Jadeja and Rayudu sensational in the field.

We’ve given you pierce to a great database through Ask Cricinfo, foreseer when fur first, win probability during chases, and now this Live Report, which will keep getting better as we move into the World Cup. See you there.
