IPL Team analysis: Chennai Super kings

India team franchise assembled strong lineup for the inaugural Indian Premier League 20-20 tournament. They aggressively bought Indian twenty20 team captain Dhoni for Rs 6 crore by defeating Mumbai and Bengaluru franchises. It strategically bought good all-rounders and lucky twenty20 player like Joginder Sharma and good young player like Suresh Raina. Experienced players are this team’s assets and may become weakness.
