But that is not what CSK is all about ?
They trust those who no else even thinks about and they become big names for them.
They never take or leave players on their few match or even a season ka performance.
When Faf, CSK ka part bana tha not many knew about him, Jaddu came in with a bad record, Watson and Moein came in after being benched for the season and many more but they became such a important people for the team.
People were crying from yesterday about CSK ka purchases but I trust them except for Raina not being brought back and they not fighting for Faf ( which I think would be reason that RCB gave him Captaincy, that's why they backed off ) I am happy with CSK team.
They have brought back the core team, experience and youngsters too this time.
Lets agree to disagree π€£
Faf was a very vital part of South African team even before he became part of CSK. He was the captain of SA, after Graeme Smith, short stint of Amla & later ABD.
Watson international career revived thanks to IPL. He was part of RR & some other team, Punjab ? which revived his international career, he was dropped from Aus due to his repeated failures. After Hayden retired, Watson kicked on for CSK, later Faf - many had written him off due to his previous failures with his earlier franchise.
Moeen was part of RCB earlier, now do we need to talk further π€£ Lets see how many players RCB has helped - especially internationals ? Almost none other than ABD, lately Maxwell now. Moeen was either benched or rarely played with RCB but yeah CSK gave him more chances & he was a shining star.
But yeah in general dad's army is good at giving chances to older players - which other franchises hardly do & most of them have repaid their faith.
