New Look Chennai Super Kings Website

The Chennai Super Kings official Website (www.chennaisuperkings.com) has been redesigned. Though the website retains the black background, it is the yellow color that hits you on your face. Though i like the initial design better, i found the redesigned website much more easy to navigate.

Official Blog

But the real surprise was the new blog with VB and sports journalist Anand Phillar as authors. My only hope is that this does not become a one-off thing that dies off after the initial burst. Thanks to the blog, Chennai Super Kings management team now has a means to tap with the sentiments of its fans.

Way to Go! Chennai Super Kings!

P.S: Fans, Visit the website and post your comments here.

Proud to be a Super King

Chennai Super Kings fans have always been proud about the achievements of our players both in IPL and in international scene.  We were proud when Raina played match winning knocks for India. We were proud when Albie Morkel produced match winning knocks for his team. We were proud when Oram bowled his heart out for NZ. We were proud when Hayden retired from his illustrious career.

Now Even Chennai Super Kings Management have joined us in openly acknowledging their happiness of the performance of CSK Stars.

Music to My Ears

Hearing a star player of any sports club reassuring his support and commitment to the team is surely a great news for the fans of the club. So When Hayden in his telephonic interview confirmed in no uncertain terms that he is committed to Chennai Super Kings, it was music to my ears.

Please find Excerpts of Hayden’s Interview Below:

“My focus is now on IPL and my team Chennai Super Kings. That is the cricket left in me. I've got great passion and drive to play for Chennai. I look forward to the IPL with great anticipation.”

“I'm also very excited about the IPL and being a part of it. I'm looking forward to working with Stephen Fleming and MS Dhoni in the upcoming tournament. I'm particularly happy with the brand of cricket the team plays. The IPL was a phenomenal experience for me.”

Now that you say the IPL is your goal, are you thinking of settling down in Chennai?
Most definitely. I have great friends in Chennai and southern part of India and coincidentally, I was taken by the Chennai team. It is a wonderful experience and opportunity for me. I feel blessed.

Hayden, It is we (the CSK Fans) who are blessed that you are playing for us.

Fleming donning Coach Hat

We all knew that Fleming took up the role of the coach of Chennai Super Kings for the cancelled Champions League. Now VB has confirmed that Fleming would continue to be the coach for the upcoming IPL season too. Chandrasekhar has also confirmed that Fleming would not play which means Chennai Super Kings still has the option to buy 4 more foreign international players.

Chennai Super Kings - Flintoff Saga Continues

This blog has already reported about Chennai Super Kings’ interest in Flintoff. With today’s TOI report, more news have started flowing about CSK’s interest in Freddie.

• Chennai Super Kings have spoken with him when he visited Chennai for the India-England Test match
• Chennai Super Kings are ready to go all out for Flintoff in the auctions. So expect another million dollar contract for Flintoff

By leaking such valuable information, Chennai Super Kings team are making sure that they are able to ward off any other team showing interest in Flintoff. Hope the strategy works and they are able to get him in for an economical rate.

TOI also reports that Hayden may get a hike to his salary. Personally I feel it is time that CSK players get a part of their salary based on personal and team’s performance rather than the fixed amount they are receiving now.
