The skipper of Chennai Super Kings has been in imperious form this season. His valiant innings of 79 off 44 against KXIP with sour back in a losing cause and his match-winning knock 70 off 34 against RCB last night which helped CSK record one of the finest chasings in the history of IPL tells how good a form he is in this season.
