The Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most successful franchises in the history of the Indian Premier League. They have won the joint-most IPL championships, with a total of five. But when it comes to finishing the season in the top four, there is no comparison for CSK.
They have qualified for 12 playoffs out of the 14 seasons they have played. Meanwhile, they have also played in a total of nine IPL finals. That tells the story of this team in this league. Recently, CSK all-rounder Shivam Dube Revealed his all-time XI, picking up MS Dhoni as the captain.
Dube has been an integral part of the Yellow Army for the last two seasons and did a brilliant job in 2023. He scored 418 runs in 16 matches at a strike rate of 160, including three half-centuries. There are many big names that have represented CSK over the years.
The likes of Matthew Hayden, Mike Hussey, Stephen Fleming, Brendon McCullum, Muttiah Muralitharan, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Shane Watson, and many more big names. In a video shared on CSK’s social media handle, Dube revealed his all-time CSK XI.
He picked Mike Hussey and Matthew Hayden as openers, followed by Raina and Ambati Rayudu. Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, and Bravo are next, with Albie Morkel at eight. For bowling, he picked Harbhajan, L. Balaji, and himself as another all-rounder. Notably, he picked himself apart from Dhoni in the current setup.
He didn’t pick bowling all-rounder Deepak Chahar in his team. And as soon as the video was posted, Chahar was up to react to it. He wrote, “Dubeshivam next year as bowler khelega hum kaha jaege? (Next year you will play as a bowler so where do I fit in?)”
He further wrote and asked Dube to have a one-over match between him and Dube, saying whoever wins will take the spot. In response, Dube wrote, “@deepak_chahar9 tere liye maine abhi se spot chod Diya hai, kya tu tabki baat kar rha hai.”
However, Chahar also responded and said that he doesn’t want a spot; he wants a match instead. This funny banter between two CSK stars caught the eyes of the fans, and it became viral in a short time. Every CSK fan seems to be talking about it.
