You can expect life to get busier on its own when the IPL is around. Given the magnanimous popularity of the contest, it’s hardly a surprise to find web portals and news blogs coming out with interesting articles whose headlines read, “Simple but important tips to organize an IPL party at home.”
What could be better than being dressed in one’s favourite team’s jersey, having a gang of friends at home, chilling with some beer whilst anticipating the next move in any nail-biting contest? It’s thrilling, it’s fun and yet, hardly eschewing surprises ever.
It won’t be wrong to suggest that the Indian Premier League, quite simply, grows on you.
But this year, you’d reckon the most commercially sound and buzzing T20 franchise in the world is only going hit the nail harder and the velocity of the party bound to get louder. After all, arguably, the most famous outfit and also the most successful, following Mumbai Indians is back into the fray
They did manage to keep Chennai Super Kings out of the IPL, but they couldn’t keep fans away from the Chennai Super Kings. The excitement of having MS lead a truly spectacular cricketing outfit with familiar commander-in-charge Suresh Raina is thrilling, least of all.
Now that the team also boasts of some buzzing albeit new names with the old-guards back in the thick of things, time’s just right to ascertain 5 key players that may hold the edge for CSK.
Not an entirely surprising selection in the list. Ever since MS abdicated the Test captaincy, the former following his retirement from the 5-day format, there’s been anticipation if the Jharkhand-legend is focusing on extending his career.
That said, there are few athletes who are as fit and capable to put a hundred per cent as MS Dhoni. Having made CSK win their prestigious IPL crown on two separate occasions, Dhoni would be eager to pull out all the aces from his sleeve to put up another wonder-show.
In the IPL 2018, it seems, Chennai’s familiar son is back to where he belongs. But can he lead a bunch of relatively inexperienced neophytes to gather great heights?

He’s also been on an interesting six-hitting spree in recent times, considering his impressive performances at the South Africa T20 series and in the just concluded victorious T20s in Bangladesh. Time for Raina to go big again, isn’t it?
