A full ‘paisa vasool’ performance and victory for Chennai Super Kings fans as it was full of entertainment from both the sides. From Andre Russell’s sixes to Ravindra Jadeja’s wining six in the final over, let’s have a quick look at CSK vs KRR 5th Match IPL 2018 Highlights… IPL 2018 Match 5 Analysis : CSK vs KRR, 5th Match Toss : Chennai Super Kings won the toss and opted to bowl Man of the Match : Sam Billings Match Number : 5 Match Date KRR Inns CSK Inns Result MoM Chennai Thursday, CSK vs 202-6 Super Kings Sam April 10, 205-5 (20) KRR (20) won by Billings 2018 5 wickets Initially Chennai Super Kings won the toss and opted to bowl and KKR opener Narine and Lynn took the charge by scoring 18 runs in the first over itself, but one smart move from Dhoni as he brought Harbhajan Singh in action and he took the wicket of dangerous looking Sunil Narine.

  • Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
    COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.
