Garuda Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 You know, the only statistic that matters is # of IPL titles won. I'm sure you can pull out some other meaningless stat # of calls to bookie # of times a left handed batsman took a catch running backwards in powerplay etc If India wins 1 more title will it be better than WI of the 70s and 80s. Even India's second WC trophy came under Dhoni's leadership and Dhoni was a match winner in the finals unlike some chotu who always choked in the finals. Also check the winning percentage of CSK its better than others. Also what about this season who is winning and who is fighting for the wooden spoon. Have some shame before typing . I know its hard becuase bambi supporter knows no shame and even switch sides when they are losing. What a load of bandwagoners. Mariyam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just string across random sentences and sprinkle in 'keywords' like bambani, bandwagoners, chotu etc. I like your style, however. Its more fun than Haiku. Imma try it myself now: If Mumtaz had a twin and Shah Jahan built another black Tajmahal will it be better than the Eiffel tower. Two south Indian crows migrated to Delhi where the local crows asked them to speak in Hindi. That ruffled the feathers of the two south Indian crows. When one of them wasn't eating, the second crow said to the first crow: kao What is the difference between the crow and mumtaz's twin? Can bambani answer this? I suspect even he can't, in spite of his $$$$$$. What a band-wagoner he is! Edited May 2, 2018 by Mariyam asterix and Number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stating facts here. You know, facts, those uncomfortable little things that can be quite disturbing. Like the fact that Meiyappan was booked for betting and abetment to spot fixing and passing on inside information. The only stat that matters is who won the IPL how many times. The rest is just noise. Maybe white noise, but still noise. asterix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I have said this a thousand times before and I will repeat it again - CSK has the single largest dedicated fan following among all IPL teams. Mumbai might come close or even surpass when it comes to the number of casual fans, but CSK beats them all when it comes to keen fandom. I am talking about folks who spend their Rupees to buy game tickets, show up at team practices, are active on social media and cricket forums (FB, Whatsapp, Twitter, ICF), consume team content (Youtube, IPL site) vociferously etc. Chennai loves it cricket and with CSK, we finally have a vehicle to expend all the cricket fandom energy that has been building up over the years! velu, Garuda, AK007 and 1 other 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the above is pure conjecture on your part. Do you have any way of establishing that CSK has the largest dedicated fan following. I suggest you try the following: Go to www.bookmyshow.com In the IPL section -> Mumbai Indians All the remaining home games are sold out. That too at a time when there is scant chance of making it to the eliminators. Tickets for KKR games, however, are still available.
