7 reasons why CSK is the most successful team in IPL

 5. Ravishing Opening Pair:

Matthew Hayden and Murali Vijay were the opener’s for CSK in the first three seasons who did a brilliant job, when Hayden hung his boots he was replaced by Michael Hussey, who filled the left void remarkably well and the team did was not hurt much by Hayden’s absence. Hussey and Vijay fulfilled the role tremendously well for next three seasons. CSK unfortunately lost both their reliable openers in the auction after 6^th season but team management replaced them by equally effective openers Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith in the auctions, and the duo has been doing a commendable job for the team.
