“CSK in the IPL is what AUSTRALIA is in international cricket. If they haven't qualified for a final, it means they've been really unlucky in that particular tournament”
~ Sunil Gavaskar
Comparing IPL teams with international teams -
CSK - AUS (Most titles,most consistent)
MI - IND (2nd best teams)
GT - ENG (Late bloomers)
KKR - WI (3rd best)
SRH - SL
LSG - Bangla
DC - SA (Ch0kers)
RCB - UAE (minn0ws)
Batting stats in ODI tournament finals:
Gambhir : 8 inns, 187 runs, 23 avg, 77 SR
Dhoni : 15 inns, 533 runs, 44avg, 82 SR
One gets unsung hero, clutch player shouts and the other gets trolled as "credit stealer" 😭😂
GT reached two consecutive IPL finals but are appearing quite average in their third season. MI reached finals in 2019-20 but failed to qualify in 2021. And then there's CSK, who played in 4 consecutive finals and 10 playoffs
Undisputed GOAT,

💀💀 They won it all all together, Don't think any other cricketer has seen a peak like this
POTM in CT 2006 Final
POTM in CT 2009 Semifinal
POTM in CT 2009 Final
Perhaps the only cricketer to win POTM in two ICC finals. Freak Cricketer

KohIi in 2019 WC :
- Dropped Rayudu for 3D shankar
- Dropped Shami in semifinal who was best Indian bowler of group Stage
- Scored 1(6) in semifinal, triggered collapse
- Sent Pant/Hardik over Dhoni
- KohIi was reason behind rifts in ICT (R Sridhar confirmed this in his book)
Jsk with a superteam containing
- faf
- Miller
- coetzee
- sams
- Conway
- santner
Fails to win qualifier 1 against a team having just one recognised batter named Quinton de kock
People putting the L on Pandya (rightly so) but Him taking Rutu's wicket brought MI back in the game. CSK would've scored 225 easily if Ruturaj has batted for few more overs. We just scored 30 runs from over no.15 to 19, imagine if Rutu had faced those 13 deliveries of Mitchell
MS Won both WT20 and IPL within 5 years since the inception of T20I format. Didn't need to wait for 1.5 decades to win the first T20 title like kohIi 😂
Tweets for Jadeja who took three wickets: 1
Number of Tweets for Rohit who took a catch which gets considered as reguIation catch at internationaI Ievel : 4
🤷♂️
Captains and the reasons they're celebrated for -
Dhoni: 3 ICC, 5 IPL titles, AsiaCups
Rohit: 5 IPL titles, 2 Asia Cups
KohIi: Didn't Iose a bilateral test match by an innings
Players to Win Cricket World Cup + IPL in the Same year
• MS Dhoni
• Suresh Raina
• Ravi Ashwin
Hopefully Ravindra Jadeja will join this elite Iist soon
@imjadeja
- Ruturaj never took 67 balls to score century in IPL
- Bats at Chepauk not at 50 M Chinnaswamy
- Better strike rate than kohli in IPL/T20 cricket
- Didn't deny double run to his partner for completing century in last overs
People were questioning Ruturaj's place in test team by showing domestic stats but No one is talking about his exclusion from t20i side even after having great domestic t20 numbers 🤡. Man legit won 2 titles for his team in last 3 seasons 😂
Yeah, differences is that Dhoni captained against m!ds like Sangakara, Jayawardene, Malinga and Rohit captained against all time Greats like shanaka, pramod, hemantha
Such a hypocrite bharwa he is Iol. Finals wasn't a part of playoffs for him a year and a half ago but suddenly included finals in playoffs Iist just to run his agenda😭
