Though the players where out partying their heart out (cause of some really good looking girls in the center) the real big party was out there in the center, the "electrifying atmosphere" which the commentator often describes on TV show be felt to be belived, I was out there again in my beloved Chepauk, MAC Stadium, Chennai. The reason I decided to go for an IPL match is very simply SACHIN TENDULKAR, I had the option to book the ticket against RCB or MI, without a doubt I went to witness GOD, what the crowed wanted was obvious Sachin to smack but Chennai to win, even Gavaskar said the same thing during the pre match discusssion he said "May be the crowed wants Sachin to hit a century"
no one in Chennai can hate Sachin even if he is playing for PakistanCSK VS MI, CSK went on to win the match in spite of scoring a low total, Tendulkar retired in the middle of his inning cause of the heat, heat plays a major role in Chennai. Allan Border has dehydrated in the famous only tied match in Test Cricket which happened way back in the 80's he has even said about the now infamous "cooum" and the strong spell in brings with the wind during the breeze. Coming back to the present match the heat set things for CSK, the newly laid stands much like Lords didn't to much to cool down the players in the middle the main reason for the design of the new laid stand was said to bring in the cool breeze from the sea shore but on that electrifying match the heat turned the hero for the local team CSK and that changed the tempo, MI lost quick wickets and by the time Tendulkar was back the match was almost out of MI's reach and just the previous match CSK had lost to Kings XI in a final over, celebrities such as Trisha was also there to feel the most highly alderine pumping match in the IPL season 3, though CSK later settled scores with them in a must win match in Dharamshala, Dhoni took CSK from the jaws of defeat scoring 17 runs in the last 4 balls! and that was hitting an another nail in Kings XI coffin, that was the only chance for them to win the 3rd game of the tournament the memories of "how close yet so far" would have been in many peoples mind atleast for those who and visited the ground to see that match and coming back to the present match Tendulkar was a threat to CSK but even he couldnt do much because of the mess caused by the MI's middle order and eventually Tendulakar got out by trying to accelerate the score, he was successfully caught in the Long on meters away from the boundary line. Tendulkar got out and the crowed erupted a rare sight in Chepauk!
