Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is undoubtedly one of the most successful franchises in the history of Indian Premier League (IPL). Ahead of the tournament-opener of IPL 2019, defending champions CSK’s key player and former West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo shed light on the unit’s approach and what makes them so consistent in such an unpredictable format. CSK has featured in the playoffs in all the 9 editions they have featured in, have most IPL titles, under their belt, along with arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) with 3 trophies in the cabinet.
“Keeping the core group and retaining most of the players has been CSK’s strength over 10 seasons. It’s a belief and a reward at the same time” he said.
Bravo backed the team’s tactics of investing in experienced campaigners as it paved the way for the team’s glory.
“We were aware for the name-calling, but you can’t beat experience, no matter. The way CSK went about picking the squad at the auction – experience along with some talented young players. The core of the team was kept, and that made a huge difference. Last year everyone doubted us, and we went on to win the crown” he added.
