In the first decade of the IPL, the joke was that "IPL is an eight-team tournment to decide who will play CSK in the final."
It can now change to, "IPL is a ten-team tournament to decide who will play the final in Ahmedabad."
Since today’s MI-CSK rivalry match, it’s quite apt to remind that both these teams IPL success revolved around Ambati Rayudu’s career...literally. Neither team won an IPL trophy before or after his playing career.
