Chennai Super Kings in their returning season have given an impressive account of themselves and following their tradition, have qualified for the playoffs. In the twelve matches that they have played so far in the season, CSK has managed to win eight and has lost four. With their entry into the playoffs confirmed, Chennai players are relaxed and are enjoying their time.
The last match of Chennai was against the table-toppers Sunrisers Hyderabad in which they thumped the SRH team. The major architect of the victory for Chennai was their top run-scorer Ambati Rayudu. Hyderabad is actually the state for which Rayudu plays and thus he was well aware of the pitch. His maiden IPL century in just 62 balls helped CSK cross SRH with minimal glitches.
One member of the winning team, Chennai Super Kings took the innings very seriously and was extremely happy for the same. English cricketer Sam Billings joined his national teammate Mark Wood to celebrate Ambati Rayudu’s magnificent innings against Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Rayudu was appreciated by his captain MS Dhoni, coach Stephen Fleming and the fans. Still, the most special applause was from Mark Wood, who was picked in CSK side this year but had to leave for national duty mid-way in the tournament. He is preparing for the upcoming series against Pakistan and is playing county cricket.
Mark Wood created a chant and made his Durham teammates sing along for Rayudu. The chant is: “When I see Chennai, I know I’m on my way. I just can’t get enough, just can’t get enough…all the things you do to me and all the things you say, I just can’t get enough, I just can’t get enough. Because when you cut and drive I just can’t get enough of Du Du Du Du Du Du…Ambati Rayudu.”
