Super Kings can make it three in a row claims Bichel – Cricket News Roundup – May 4, 2012
Chennai Super Kings bowling coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-John-Bichel-c44426, is confident that the franchise can win a third consecutive Indian Premier crown, despite struggling to find consistency in this year.
The two-time winners of the competition have struggled to match their old form, and are a languishing mid-table with 4 wins from their 10 matches so far.
Despite evident weight of expectations, Bichel feels that his side is more than capable of meeting their own high standards and is banking on Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s led side to make it three titles in a row.
"There is lot of expectations from the fan base always. Winning three in a row is a high standard in IPL for us. It is a challenge for us,” Bichel said.
Deccan Chargers’s skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KC-Sangakkara-c1779, wants the team’s overseas players to take up added responsibility as the side looks to make a late push into the top four of the Indian Premier League.
After a poor start to the current season, which saw them losing five matches on the trot, the Chargers have performed well off late, including two wins against Pune http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warriors-c861.
However, they still occupy the bottom spot in the IPL and their skipper wants the foreign players to absorb the added pressure.
"Overseas players also need to understand their responsibilities and absorb the majority of the pressure. That is why most of the imports are international players and capped huge number of matches," Sangakkara said.

cricket.
Somerset’s team director Brian rose said ( while talking to ESPNcricinfo) that Plessis, who is currently playing in the Indian Premier League, is expected to join the club, owing to a clearance from the South African board as their team is expected to play
