CSK Register their first win against Kings XI Punjab

CSK thrashed Kings XI Punjab today. (BTW, Mumbai Indians. This is called thrashing. Not the win against CSK in the first match). The match clearly showcased the gulf between the class between both the teams. 

These are the kind of matches that make you question the notion of not having any elimination in the tournament. It is time IPL created a Indian Championship. And have both elimination from IPL and top Championship teams winning promotion to IPL every year. This would ensure that the teams at the bottom have enough motivation to play.

Positives:
1. Hussey & Vijay: My most beloved CSK Partnership is back. This might be the last season when Hussey is on form. Understanding is that the players generally have their best season in the first year after retirement. Hussey, Please give us more such unforgettable memories. 
2. CSK Bowling Unit: Bowling Unit struck together and performed well. And i do believe that Dhoni has not still learnt on optimizing the bowling resources available to him. So the bowling unit has only get better. 

CSK's Fan of the Match: Hussey - For his commitment with both fielding and batting, he wins it hands down.
