It's the most successful and consistent team in IPL history. The franchise is currently owned by India Cements, who paid US$91 million to acquire the rights to the franchise for 10 years in 2008.[4] N. Srinivasan, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of India Cements Ltd., is the de facto owner of the Chennai Super Kings, by means of his position within the company. He is also the Secretary of the BCCI. Krishnamachari Srikkanth, former captain of the Indian cricket team and the current chairman of the National Selection Committee, was the brand ambassador for the franchise till the end of season 3 when his 3-year contract got over, and former Indian opener V. B. Chandrasekhar is the Chief Selector. To gather more support from local fans, actor Vijay and actress Nayantara were also appointed as ambassadors. Nayantara was later removed because she could not attend matches. Vijay served as the brand Ambassador till the end of the 2009 season and has been removed after that. [edit] 2008 season Chennai Super Kings playing the Kolkata Knight Riders at the M.A. Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in the 2008 Indian Premier League. During the first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season, conducted in January 2008, the Chennai team was able to buy a number of contemporary star cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Matthew Hayden and Michael Hussey. The Super Kings had a solid start to the tournament by winning their first game against Kings XI Punjab scoring 240/5 which was the highest total of the tournament, a record surpassed by themselves in 2010.[5] The Super Kings also won their next three games against Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. But their winning run in the tournament took a hit when their overseas stars Matthew Hayden, Michael Hussey and Jacob Oram had to leave for national duties. Their departure immediately affected their performance as the Super Kings who had won their first four games lost their next three games. The batting, although inconsistent, eventually adjusted to the losses of Hayden and Hussey with contributions from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Albie Morkel. The Super Kings despite having a roller-coaster ride in the second half managed to ensure a semi-final slot by beating the Deccan Chargers in their last league fixture.[6] The side had finished third at the league table with 16 points. The Chennai Super Kings played their first semi-final against the Kings XI Punjab whom they managed to defeat by 9 wickets, thus entering the final,[7] which they lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets off the last ball.[8] [edit] 2009 season Main article: 2009 Indian Premier League The Super Kings brought English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million making him the highest-paid IPL cricketer along with Kevin Pietersen of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Apart from Flintoff the Chennai Super Kings also brought Thilan Thushara, George Bailey, Murali Vijay and Shadab Jakati. The Chennai Super Kings were defeated in their first game of the tournament by the Mumbai Indians.[9] But they immediately bounced back by beating the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next game. The Super Kings however lost against the Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers with an abandoned game in between. But the Chennai Super Kings went on to win their next 5 consecutive games to get 13 points from 10 games. The Super Kings despite losing to Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders assured themselves a semi-final berth by beating the Mumbai Indians and the Kings XI Punjab.[10] The Super Kings finished with 17 points and earned a second place at the league table. However at the semi-finals the Super Kings' hope of entering the final for a second time was crushed by the resurgent Royal Challengers who proceeded to play the final against the Deccan Chargers.[11] [edit] 2010 season Main article: 2010 Indian Premier League The Super Kings added Justin Kemp and Thissara Perera to their roster, one filling an empty slot while the other shall serve as a substitute to Andrew Flintoff, who has planned to skip that season. The Super Kings also roped in former ICL cricketer Hemang Badani and local all- rounder Ganapathy. The Super Kings started their tournament against the defending champions, Deccan Chargers, which they lost by 31 runs. But they bounced back into the top 4 by beating the Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils. However the side witnessed a heap of defeats in their next 4 games terribly endangering their chances to the semi-finals. But the Chennai Super Kings made a decent comeback by winning their eighth and ninth games against the Royal Challengers and Rajasthan Royals with the help of two superb batting performances from Murali Vijay. His performance was supplemented by the arrival of Doug Bollinger who boosted the team's bowling attack significantly.[12] The Super Kings managed to win 5 of the matches played in the latter half of the season thanks to the superb bowling performance of Ravichandran Ashwin, boosting their Net Run Rate, and allowed them to qualify for the semi-finals as three other teams were tied on the same number of points.[13] The Super Kings defeated the Deccan Chargers at the semi-final to qualify for their second IPL final.[14] The win also assured them a place in the Champions League Twenty20. At the IPL final the Chennai Super Kings played the Mumbai Indians and won by 22 runs to crown themselves the Champions of the tournament.[15] [edit] 2011 Season Main article: 2011 Indian Premier League The Chennai Super Kings have retained 4 players for the 2011 Indian Premier League which include MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Murali Vijay and Albie Morkel.[16] On January 8, 2011, the Chennai Super Kings bought Doug Bollinger, Michael Hussey, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dwayne Bravo, Wriddhiman Saha, George Bailey, Nuwan Kulasekara, Sudeep Tyagi, Suraj Randiv, Ben Hilfenhaus and Francois du Plessis in the IPL Player Auction for the fourth edition, looking to retain the same core team that performed for them from 2008 to 2010.[17] Also after the World Cup,Chennai Super Kings signed New Zealand pace bowler Tim Southee as a replacement to the injured Ben Hilfenhaus after his stellar 18 wicket tournament. The Super Kings started their IPL 2011 campaign with a thrilling win against Kolkata Knight Riders in Chennai by just 2 runs but lost their next game to the Kings XI Punjab after a stellar innings by Paul Valthaty.Michael Hussey's unbeaten 83 helped them to defeat the Royal Challengers Bangalore before losing to the Kochi Tuskers Kerala in a rain affected match at the latter's home ground.

  • Cricket Morkels
    Cricket Morkels Google “MORKEL” to see how overwhelmingly the two cricket brothers, Albie and Morné dominate the listings. There is so much readily available in cricket information sites, youtube and others about these two outstanding players that for our story I shall be brief about their current achievements - which can readily be updated on the internet. If we have a contribution to make, it will be to place them and cricket in context of the broader family. Historically the family has been known for its prowess in rugby (see our story about the Rugby Morkels), but there has been an interest in cricket for over a century. Hendrik Johannes MORKEL (1842 – 1902), uncle of Rugby Springboks Sommie and Dougie MORKEL, was elected in November 1886 as Chairman of the first Cricket Club on the very new goldfields of the Witwatersrand (1, p45). One of his sons was a ‘very fair left- handed bowler (1, p 53). Dougie and his older brother Harry were also good cricketers (1, p52). Two early first class Morkel cricketers were brothers Denys (Denijs) and Raymond MORKEL (1, p53). They were inspired to cricket by their father, William MORKEL (1864 – 1926). From his obituary (1, p27) and the memoirs of J.P. Duminy (2), former Vice-Chancellor of Cape Town University, we know that William was a remarkable sportsman. Born in Somerset West he was a senior public servant and retired to his Windsor farm near Cape Town at Diep River. His keenest interest from his younger days was cricket. He played for Claremont Cricket Club in Cape Town for many years, primarily as a bowler.
