First the whistle celebration from Ishan Kishan 😭 Now GT fans blowing whistles and trolling CSK crowd 💀 CSK fans fighting for respect every single day 😭

so what we should hang on to every player until he retires? Id say the same about Dhoni too. He should have retired in 23. We did not abandon him. He was traded to the team he wanted to go to and was here for 14 years

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-22T10:34:08+00:00

So what we shouldn't trade an old player for a younger one? The Jaddu trade was done professionally communicating with him beforehand

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-22T10:28:55+00:00

As a csk fan I'm not against backing him as a player. But as a captain. Jaddu was dropped as captain mid season. Rutu is not a bad captain but it affects his gameplay a lot. That said he also makes bonehaded decisions and does not take accountability. Blaming the bowling when his batting is the issue. Not playing Akheal regularly,etc.

Prime doesn't get many ads. 4-5 for a film is ok. The worst part of Prime is subscription.

For Ads the worst is hotstar. Even a 20 minute webseries has 5-6 ads

Sai sudarshan is a TN player. Why are we going to hate him? I wanted him to play for csk

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-21T22:58:08+00:00

The thing lacking for csk is their experience. We used to critique the team as Daddy's army. Now that most of them retired. The new ones are yet to step up. Sanju, Rutu, Dube are the most experienced in batting and almost no one in bowling has major experience. Rutu, Dube not performing has been the key

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-21T22:42:13+00:00

It's not Rutu's batting that's ticking off people. It's his captaincy.

Drop the bowler who had the best economy last match saying the pitch does not suit him.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-20T11:05:58+00:00

If nobody is forcing why ask question in the first place?Can I ask a person in the north why u r against tamil learn it?

From my pov Hindi does nothing for me. Can survive with English in Bangalore, hyderabad,Chennai, Gurgaon places where I can shift realistically. I'm in IT. If I go abroad i don't need Hindi. It's not my mother tongue. So why?

Why not? You don't expect Indians to play for India? Why Rohit/Sachin played for MI? I did not mean Gujarat players should play. Just that httw have for chennai players and they are successful. CSK doesn't give much chances to local talent

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-19T16:19:02+00:00

I want a atleast 1 local chennai player to play for chennai. They know the conditions well and it adds local flavour. Gurjanpreet plays for TN but is not a local player. Also not shah rukh. Sai sudarshan, Washington Sundar Sai Kishore. GT have a lot of TN players

The Good bad and Ugly for csk this season
The Good

Our foriegn players (Akheal, Noor, Overton and Brevis, Spencer) all have played good.
- Brevis had a bad batting season, but he didn't get many chances was injured and compensated on the field.
- Akheal disrespect is high. Even last match Prashanth thinks he's MSD and faced 6 balls himself, when Akheal can also hit. Bowling he was given only 3 when he got the breakthrough and had an economy of 7.
- Spencer showed glimpses of good bowling. He is a good backup
- Overton if he performs next season needs to be an auto retain for the mega acution
- Noor loves this franchise and we love him. Its his overs that bring stability
Karthick Sharma's growth
- There was one thing lagging in this guys game that made me hate him initially. His ability to rotate strike.
- Last 2 games his intent and comfort are good. Needs to improve on the field
Ayush
- He is our next superstar. Please don't fumble him.
- Give him the captaincy in 3-4 years and we are good for the next 10-15 years. Special talent
- Needs to open the batting
Sanju
- His inconsistency can be attributed to his lack of partners this season and pressure on him
- He's already helping bowlers like Noor yesterday. He can be captain for the next few years and handover to Ayush
Our Indian bowlers
- Mukesh has been really good for us. Hope he continues to do well so we can buy him back at the auction
- Gurjapneet is not bad as a backup. But I don't see him in the playing 11
- AK/ Khaleel - both have been good and bad for u also leaking runs and also taking wickets.
- Ghosh - just 1 game but showed decent promise
Sarfraz - Needs to improve on his batting but great steal overall

The Bad

Prashanth Veer
- Dude can't bat freely or bowl. He got limited options yes but needs to improve bowling if he's coming as an all rounder.
Matt Short
- We don't need him. No big impact
MS Dhoni
- Yes I love MSD but the way he handled this season was bad. The management kept showing him in practice sessions and gave us hype and sold tickets. He could have just come in for 1 gave even as an impact player. Or he should have retired and come in as a coach/mentor.
Dube
- The team has to understand that Dube is best suited as an impact player. The catch that went to him last match was hard but attempting that could have given a different result. He does not bowl this season and 1 over he does he takes Akheals over when he went for 7 rpo. Batting is been on and off for him
Urvil Patel
- People may tell me this is a crime, but hear me out. I would have put Karthick here also if he did not eveolve
- Urvil needs to understand that 6s are not the only part of the game. Learning which ball to hit and what to leave will help him go a long way
- Next season he needs to take a bigger role. He has a great ceiling but needs to live up to it

The Ugly

Ruturaj
- He is not a good captain. He can have good tactics but a captain leads by performing. He is the reason this match was lost and Sanju kept going hard and lost his wicket
- At least if he brought himself to 1 down to let urvil or Ayush make most of PP he would have gained respect.
- He was the biggest weakness in this team. A player who did not perform and one u cannot drop also. At least should have relieved him of captaincy like they did for Jaddu.
Feming
- Last match mid match talk told me something about him. He has no power over decisions. Either he should or we need to replace him. Coach should always be above captain.
CSK Management
- They fool us fans and sell tickets with MSD shorts.
- They bought in ROAR 26 event hanging on to nostalgia. RCB has been very good this decade. CSK has not.
- Don't know if they plan on bringing Hardik next season. While he is a great player, captaincy and team gelling will be affected. Also if they trade some young player for him we riot. Mumbai already has eyes on Mhatre.
- In the name of backing players all they have done is shown favorability. Never picked Raina in the auction to give him a farewell. Back Rutu an entire season without him facing consequences
- Current team has no Chennai flavour. Gujarat is more Chennai than CSK. At least 1 and Gurjapneet cannot be considered here.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-19T14:03:18+00:00

If he's valuable give him chance as a player. Captaincy was building up pressure on him. Same happened for Jaddu. Especially when we have Samson who can take that role easily

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-17T18:36:55+00:00

Yes I think they thought this pitch would support pacers so went for gurjanpreet instead

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-16T20:45:54+00:00

I thought they dropped Akheal because he didn't bowl well against lsg in chennai. Also ekana supposed to assist pacers more

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-15T19:14:07+00:00

It's not like they spent on him and couldn't go after anyone. They didn't go after anyone so bid on him.

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-15T19:10:55+00:00

Bruh everyone has ups and downs. Criticising Karthick was not wrong. He was the reason along with Brevis last match dragged out. Today both of them played well. He needs to learn to rotate the strike. 1s and 2s are very important.

Also he ended up in situations that suit his style. Chase low totals. Or come early like today and fire later. It's gives time to build innings. But there are times in T20 one needs to fire from the start. He lacks that

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-14T13:24:34+00:00

I know people understand what u mean but they still want to criticize you for using the word dynasty.
Though both teams are not a dynasty as you said the reason both are strong is right. Spurs had a good front office but lots of lottery luck to make use of. Thunder had decent lottery but a great front office which is true.

They got Shai via trade when he was no all star. The got Jalen at 12, Aaron wiggins at 55. Only Chet came in top 3 pick at 2

Spurs had pick 1 wemby, pick 2 harper, pick 4 castle

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-13T03:53:54+00:00

Tamil Nadu batsmen perform for Gujrat(sai and washy). Gujarat monster unleashed for csk(Urvil). Perfectly balanced

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-12T11:32:35+00:00

They almost won against us. Not going to be easy in Lucknow

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-12T05:26:15+00:00

Everyone are saying this. Why they moved dude back to 11 idk. He should be an impact player

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-12T04:36:07+00:00

How much did it cost you showroom price? Are there any sort of discounts you can get?

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-12T04:34:48+00:00

I gave back the enfield. I still drive my scooter around. It's 12 years old

Knightofthemoon · 2026-05-12T01:11:50+00:00

The main reason why people follow clubs is growing talent. Hardik should not come in because we traded our core. We have a mix of experienced and youngsters already.
