Today its the first match for the champions of IPL Chennai Super Kings to show their strength in Airtel champions league. will dhoni was first indian captain to win IPL, will he be the first indian captain to win ACL also? will dhoni and his boys be able to win the match in south african conditions. the key players for CSK is dhoni, raina and murali vijay. i think murali vijay is out form now, so will the tricks of dhoni work in ACL and will thye win the ACL cup??

I would like to see how CSK perform on pitches with higher bounce. Their bowling is the real weakling for them. I think we should play Mike Hussey if he is available in this tournament as the bouncy tracks will be to his liking. Also I think it is good that Kemp will be available for selection for CSK. Depending on the form of Albie Morkel we can select either one of the two for the all rounder's spot. Cheers! Ram

i think many here are csk fans. and i dont think bouncing pitch will be a big problem for csk. because all of the csk members are professional cricketers. and will ntini play for csk? if the bowling of csk is good then csk have an upper hand.

i think mumbai indians depends a lot on Sachin. yesterday also sachin played superbly, but despite of his performance mumbai lost the match. but sachin can single handedly bring the cup to india.

It is too earlier to comment and in T20 nothing is easy to predict because on given day any team can beat the other team. There is no strong favourites in this tournament. I feel Morkel and Hayden comes to form then this CSK team will be very dangerous. Raina is main trump card and he can change situations very quickly, I agree with u venkit that Murali Vijay is struggling with his batting form.. CSK bowling looks very strong, in batting openers are struggling and dropping Hayden is not a bad idea and try with someone else or Murali Vijay too must be dropped. Partiv Patel is not bad choice as opener.

Chennai guys are in very good form . All of them played very well in their last match and looks like they can carry forward the form in upcoming matched also. Bowling dept was in very good form. Behind the wicket Dhoni was also good was hi s brain.

i think their batting has good depth than bowling. anyway they are performing well and dhoni's captaincy is an added advantage for the team

Hi, The champions of the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE'S THIRD EDITION are going to play in their first match in the AIRTEL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.The CHENNAI SUPER KINGS are my favorites in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.They showed some great performances in the INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE.The captaincy of Dhoni helped the Chennai team to defeat the Mumbai in the finals of the Indian Premier League.His idea dismissed Pollard which was a great blow for the Mumbai team.But the champions of Indian Premier League may face stiff competition among the other teams.It will be also a tough challenge for the Indian captain Dhoni.Hope he will be the first captain to lift Champions League.There are lots of advantages for the Chennai team as the South African pitches are suitable for batting.The stadium is so short as it just needs less force to hit a six.Luck will be also favorable for the Chennai team.I am very interested and excited about what Dhoni is going to try in their opening match.Hope they win their first match and would lift the trophy.

Yes,Dhoni is an excellent captain.He is always cool and doesn't becomes too much tensed and pulls out his hair or beard.He studies the pitch and chooses the bowlers according to the pitch conditions.But sometimes his team selection becomes wrong and it leads to losing of the match.He is so clever to dismiss a dangerous batsman if he has got the right bowler.The players of the Chennai have not performed very well but good.They have to improve in their fielding.Hope they continue with their form

ya dhoni is a fantastic and intelligent captain. his tricks can purchase wicket in every condition. and with his trum card raina he manages the team very well. and hayden is not playing well so he should not be selected in the team. and morkels bowling is a very needed one.
