CSK! CSK! CSK! You heard the roar, didn't you?  So, why such a huge fan base? Why is CSK considered the best IPL team? Go on to read these facts, and you'll know why.  1.  CSK is the only team that had made it to the playoffs in every single IPL season they had been a part of thus making them the most consistent side. 2. CSK has active rivalries with the Mumbai Indians and the  RCB .The Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have played against each other more than any other two teams in the IPL. 3. The brand value of the CSK in 2015 was estimated at $67 million, making them the third most valuable franchise in the IPL after Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians. 4. The CSK holds a record of 67.44 % win record at the home venue of  M.

Dhoni's explosive batting is often combined with fearless stamina which sees him keep wickets for days, but how does he stay in shape?  According to former physiotherapist John Gloster: ‘To be able to do hundreds of squats a day behind a wicket, and then come out to bat means Dhoni has to be extremely fit.’  The star follows a well-balanced diet which is guided by the BCCI. For breakfast, he usually likes to eat porridge with milk and raisins and nuts which is followed by some fruit juice. When at home he digs into dal, rice and  subzi  like most other Indians but we guess that doesn’t happen too often. Lunch usually consists of 3-4  chappatis  with chicken/dal, along with some yoghurt, pickles, 100g of mixed nuts and a mixed veggie salad. He has a chicken sandwich in the evening which is followed by a dinner similar to lunch. The cricketer also drinks Gatorade from time to time while practising and has whey protein shakes, nuts and seeds after each work out.

A background where a Government job meant all the success in the world.  Totally opposite was Priyanka Jha, who had a fairly financially strong background.

CSK is a way of life! Dhoni himself carries CSK blood. After 2 years of ban faced by the team, from IPL, here is our very own Thala, emotionally addressing the press and his fans, excited about "being back".

CSK is more of an emotion than just a cricket team. Most Chennai people have a connect with Dhoni and have named him Thala.

A hashtag that said #noCSKnoIPL was also trending on social media. Every time during an IPL match having CSK playing against any team, the percentage of CSK fans, depicted graphically on an Indian map is unfathomable.  Now that CSK is back in IPL 2018, India is getting all "CSK-ready". This time, the team also has a lot of experienced record holding players. However "Namma Payyan"  Ashwin will be missed. The lions are ready to roar!

1.  Keep Things Simple Dhoni doesn’t look at things as black or white. He doesn’t try doing everything at once. Every task, whether daunting or menial, is broken into simpler ones. Then, each step is worked on. The chase in the 2011 World Cup final is an example. He and Gambhir ran hard between the wickets, and set targets for each over. This helped them get closer to the finish line. Dhoni then made India cross it with a historic six. It’s a myth that complex solutions are effective. Aim to simplify. Ask yourself, “how can I make this simpler?” And don’t shy away from trying. You won’t just solve problems with ease. 2.
