Hi guys . I'm Russell Radhakrishnan , The Manager . I was an Under-19 player in 1990s but had less chance to make up , I played for Tamil Nadu . Now , I'm Team India's travel assistant . When IPL started , I had an pportunity to manage my local team " CSK " . I worked hard for the team . I assisted Captain , Coaching staffs . Looking back , At 2008 Season (1st Season of IPL) , Wee road to the finals but lost it to Rajasthan Royals . Really , 2009 was bad . We lost in the semis . Worst place for the CSK is semifinals in 2009 . At 2010 , We've won the cup vs Mumbai Indians , First cup for us . We went to CLT20 and marked our place there , We've won CLT20 last time ! 2010 year is the best year so far , Yeah . We've won IPL and CLT20 consecutively ... This year we've won the cup again , second successive season, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore by 58 runs in the final in Chennai, with the winning team's Murali Vijay being named Man of the Match . IPL 2010 , CLT20 2010 , IPL 2011 consecutively . Now it's CLT20 2011 , We'll look for repeating the same last time . CSK is placed in group A , Let us look the other teams in Group A Cape Cobras , Hmm .... Team looks good as they have Dale Steyn , Gibbs , Duminy , Kemp and local talents . But CSK will battle in the second match against them . New South Wales , They won the season in 2009 . The team is balanced one with No. 1 Allrounder as per ICC Shane Watson , O Keefe , Katich , Hauritz , Warner , Stuart Clarke , Hughes ..... , Tough Competition . Mumbai Indians , The team looks bad as their captain Tendulkar , Munaf Patel are injured . Bhajee is named captain , But they still have Blizzard , Rayudu , Symonds , Pollard , Malinga , Harbhajan ....... , We're facing them in the first match let us see .... Trinidad & Tobago , They've lost Pollard and Bravo as they're playing for their respective IPL teams . But still Rampaul , Simmons , Barath , Darren Bravo , Ganga , Ramdin are playing , They have a lot of talent in them . These are the teams which are playing with us in Group A . Stay with us for further updates
Hi guys , I'm Radhakrishnan again , As our players arrived at the airport , Practice begins Camp of CSK has begun as squad members have arrived at Chennai . Hussey , Bollinger and few other members are to arrive soon after their national matches . Players' practice session went well , Dhoni and our coach Fleming had a discussion about the first match against Mumbai . I and Fleming prepared an Agenda for practice session . This is an important season , Not to waste time . Murali Vijay is currently injured [Right thumb fracture] and he can't play in the first match , Abhinav Mukund will replace him . Suresh Raina did not came to the practice session on Day 1 . He spent his time in fitness and took rest ..... Bravo suffered from food poison yesterday , Tom Simsek recommended him to take rest for 1 week , He'll be missed . Faf will replace Bravo in his absence Faf and Morkel came to the ground during mid-day . Faf was happy to get an opportunity finally .
