Chennai Super Kings is the only team to make it to the Top 4 in every season that it has played. The MS Dhoni-led outfit has won three trophies in ten seasons. Also, they have kicked off their IPL 2020 campaign with a win over the defending champions Mumbai Indians in Abu Dhabi.
The franchise has millions of fans and the players of CSK are very popular. In this article, we will use our imagination and list down how the CSK team would look like if they were in a classroom.
MS Dhoni – Leader
Every class has a leader who is the best in the world at what he does and also knows how to get the best out of the others. Be it scoring big in the exams or leading the class in different activities, a leader does his job to perfection.
Similarly, MS Dhoni has done this job very well. The Ranchi-based wicket-keeper batsman has excelled in the keeping and batting department, while he has also led the team perfectly.
Suresh Raina – Topper
Suresh Raina is the highest run-scorer for Chennai Super Kings in IPL history. Although he has not won the Orange Cap, he is always present in the list of contenders.
Among the CSK class students, Raina has managed to top a few times. At times, when he has failed to top, he has been present in the top 3-5 positions at least.
Faf du Plessis – Handsome Hunk
Every classroom has a handsome hunk. That title in the Chennai Super Kings goes to the former South African team captain Faf du Plessis.
His style and athleticism has earned him many female fans. On top of that, du Plessis has also helped Chennai Super Kings win many IPL games.
Imran Tahir – Enthusiastic Student
There is also one enthusiastic student in a classroom who celebrates success like no other. Imran Tahir is that student in the Chennai classroom.
The right-arm leg-spinner has set new styles of celebrating a wicket. He runs away from his teammates in joy and sometimes even reaches the boundary line!
Ravindra Jadeja – All-rounder
Ravindra Jadeja is that student of the class who can excel in any competition, any field or any skill you name. He is decent in studies, and also a regular top name in other fields.
One can say that Jadeja has specialization in the Physical Education subject because his athleticism on the field is unmatched. Also, he is like a teacher’s favorite student.
Sam Curran – Newcomer
In every new academic year, there are one or two newcomers in a class. Either they did not enjoy their time in their old school or they had a transfer.
The reasons were variable for his change. However, the class would ensure that the newcomer does not feel any different in the new school, just like Sam Curran and CSK.
DJ Bravo – Backbencher
DJ Bravo is that student who loves to have fun in the class and outside the class as well. Whenever he is playing cricket, he is seen celebrating wickets and victories with a dance.
It is not that he is totally careless about anything else, but the Caribbean all-rounder also has equal focus on studies. Hence, he is like a backbencher student.
Piyush Chawla – Student who changed division
Piyush Chawla was in the IPL for many seasons. He played cricket for Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders. Unlike Sam Curran, he did not play just one season.
Hence, we can say that Chawla was studying in a different division. However, during the summer break, he became a part of new division while progressing in his career.
