Thanks to today's dominating performance, Chennai Super Kings have climbed to No:2. A fine response after the poor performance against Deccan Chargers.
Positives:
1. Ashwin: What a revelation he has been... in the power play overs. Singlehandedly won the match for Chennai Super Kings. Was unlucky to be denied his hat-trick by the umpire.
2. Vijay: Renaissance of Chennai Super Kings is brought by this youngster. He has all the attributes to become the future captain of the Chennai Super Kings.
3. Raina: A good performance from him. His first four was a 'class act' that set the tone for the entire innings. It would be essential that he keeps scoring those crucial fifties for Chennai Super Kings to qualify for the next stage.
4. Bollinger: His bowling was as critical as Ashwin to today's win.
5. Fleming & Co.: Good to see Fleming keeping his eyes on the run rate.
Negatives:
1. Murali: It seems as though being dropped has changed Murali. Hope he remembers he is "Murali" and wins the next match for Chennai Super Kings.
2. Hayden: Haydos, Please come back to form.
Fan's Man of the Match: Ashwin, the first CSK Bowler to win Man of the Match this season.
Next match against Delhi Daredevils gets interesting since both the teams are on the same points.
