Chennai Superstars have proved their mettle against the likes of teams headed by Brian Lara, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and Maravan Atapattu. Stewart Law from Australia led the charge against all other teams to clinch the coveted title. Undoubtedly the Kings of league cricket in India, Chennai Superstars have defined new parameters in the twenty over format. The batting revolves around the impressive Ian Harvey, ably supported Hemang Badani, Russel Arnold & Stuart Law. With the inclusion of the internationally acclaimed wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Parore, it will further strengthen the already formidable superstar batting line up. The bowling for the Superstars has been a critical weapon for their winning the first two editions of the ICL in the inaugural ICL20's & the domestic ICL 50's.
The nitty-gritty of the game plan was devised by Chennai Superstars’ coach Micheal Bevan. The Australian magic between the coach and the captain clicked for this team in lifting the championship. Indian players like Hemang Badani, Sridharan Sriram also made their presence felt in the team. With a cap on their head, Chennai Superstars will be a team to reckon with in the next ICL championship. Hopefully they will perform like this championship in the immediate future.
