Chennai Super Kings, defending champions of Indian Premier League season five, are back on the winning track. CSK thrashed Deccan Chargers in the sixth game of IPL5, played at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium,
Visakhapatnam on Saturday, April 7, 2012 by a massive margin of 74 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RA-Jadeja-c2238, amongst the most expensive player sold in this year’s IPL auctions with an estimated amount of $2m, showed his worth in the match as he performed with both bat and the ball.
Jadeja bludgeoned 48 runs at a strike rate of 165.51 that propelled CSK to an imposing total of 193 runs and later with the ball the all-rounder picked five wickets while conceding just 16 runs from four overs.
The 23-year-old was declared Man of the Match for his heroics, Jadeja at the match presentation said, “Very fabulous performance for me. Initially I wanted to rotate strike. When a left arm spinner came in, I wanted to go for the
big shots. In T20, a 5 wicket haul is very good. I was trying to bowl stump to stump and wanted to restrict them.”

Dhoni, the man who inspired team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 to World Cup glory in 2011 said, “Always good to be on the winning side. We were a bit rusty in the first match, but the boys did well to put up a big score. We were unsure about the dew factor
so it was a good effort to put up a big total. We thought 150-160 would be a good score, that was the chat in the dressing room.”
Chennai Super Kings will now travel to Delhi where they’ll face http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians in the ninth game of IPL5 to be played on Monday, April 9, 2012.
