CHENNAI'S MUSICAL CHAIRS AT THE TOP HURTING FRANCHISE

THERE was a point in time in the 2010 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) when Chennai Super Kings had seemingly thrown in the towel. Having lost four in as many games and five of the first seven matches, the franchise were set for an early bath. Then, it all clicked. Though all players worked towards a common goal, the good work started at the top as the likes of Murali Vijay, Matt Hayden and Suresh Raina, their 1, 2 and 3, set the agenda.

It will be a good starting point for the Class of 2025 to try and emulate. Because Chennai's top-order is yet to get going in this year's edition. Worryingly, the franchise may not yet know the identity of their top three with more than a fourth of their league season already done.

11, 8, 0 and 14.
