"The journey thus far hasn't been a bed of roses, but if those thorns hadn't come In my way I wouldn't be half the person that I m today."                                                                                     T20's were a revolutuion, a 6ft 2in Off break opening the Bowling attack was something beyond that! 54th match of the 2009 IPL season,CSK is playing KXIP in a do or die match at Kingsmead,Durban.
