Cricket is no less than a religion in India and it won't be wrong when we say that IPL is the yearly carnival of India. People wait the entire year to see their favorite teams and players playing together. IPL is one such platform where players from all cultures and countries come together and share one single dressing room. Since the start of this cricketing carnival, the standard of game in India has totally got better and we have seen many young talents getting more opportunities than usual.

Talking about the finals, CSK is one team which has been consistent with it's performance from the beginning of this cricketing carnival. Even you might have heard it from commentators saying that, IPL is one tournament where 7 teams compete with each other to get a place in finals to play against CSK. This statement itself explains how strong this team is together and how strong is their bond together.

Here in this article, we will be talking about why CSK deserved to win IPL 2018 and how they have been so consistent with their performance although all of their main players are over the age of 30.

1. Culture.
The culture of this team is incredible, the team management has always made sure that nobody from the team feels left behind and even they make sure that the team also connects with the native place of the team, Chennai. You will mostly see them wearing lungi and using few of local words. Most of the players try to learn the language as well and this always make them feel connected with the team and each other.

2. Team Balance.
The team balance is one thing, every team focuses on and CSK has been doing this since the beginning. You'll never find them struggling for too long to find the perfect balance for any place in the team. Even they are that strong with their balance that they always have 2-3 backup options for every place.

3. M.S Dhoni - The Chanakya of Cricket.
Well nobody will disagree with the fact that right now M.S Dhoni is the most intelligent player of the game. He calculate every situation really well and play with the minds of the opposition as well. The way he has playing in this season, we have seen a glimpse of Dhoni we saw in the beginning of his career. The popularity of the team has increased because of this only.

4. Belief.
This team has strong belief in each other. You will never find them being into any verbal spat publicly and even that they don't believe in any controversies at all. Not only this, this team has been seen taking the biggest of the risks and experimenting the most. From sending Harbhajan and Deepak Chahar before MS Dhoni and Bravo to just keeping Bravo for end overs only, you must have seen them doing what nobody has ever though of. It's the belief of the team in each that always keep the strong and brings them results.

5. Super 30 - Experienced eyes.
No doubt that this team is laced with the most experienced players of International cricket and obviously the most aged as well. All the major players of this team are above the age of 30 years and they are indeed people who can turn the entire match single handedly. The experience which these players bring on board is also something which helps the young players to do well and bring out results.

6. Team Staff.
You might have noticed that the team staff of CSK has not much changed in all these years and that is one reason that they have been consistent in all these years. The team staff understands the need of every player and their psychology and help them recover from every problem they face during the season.

7. Absorbing the pressure.
You might have noticed that every player of this team has been playing very calculatingly throughout the game. At every stage of the game, there is always one player that always try to absorb the pressure out of the other player and this is one reason that helps the other play fearlessly. You may have noticed it happening mostly during the batting and opening batsman.

8. More number of All Rounders.
This team has the most number of all rounders in the team and this obviously gives them an edge in both batting and bowling. This always end up having this team an option of atleast 8 bowlers in every game and the batting also goes till the depth.

9. Shane Watson - The Super Opener.
This man is definitely a big match player. The way he has played throughout the tournament is incredible and the his performance in the finals was indeed something full of class. You might have hardly noticed him play any shot that might look awkward to you. His century in the finals is the definitely the best knock of the tournament and indeed the best inning of any IPL finals.
