In the book, there is an excerpt that talks about how the Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers Bangalore have been compared. While there were views from many players, the boldest came from Brendon McCullum.
Brendon McCullum, the Kiwi IPL legend, has played of Chennai Super Kings before he started playing for Royal Challenger Bangalore and explained what’s wrong with the Red army. He said:
“One team gives selection loyalty and works on the team they have; the other chases a perfect team and doesn’t have a blueprint for how they are going to play. “CSK has very little “white noise” around them. RCB have too much,”
Meanwhile, not just the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League, but many other sporting events and tournaments have either been postponed, suspended or canceled or are on their way to get any of them, including Olympics.
