According to me, CSK and MI are the greatest franchises of IPL. Each teams have their uniqueness in certain places. For example, if you see the current team of both franchises,
- CSK has the most experienced side whereas MI had the best young talents ever.
- Both have great captains, Dhoni and Rohit. Dhoni's strength is believing in a player even his performances were poor, and getting most out of him. Rohit's strength is identifying and utilizing the young talents. Dhoni also did this in the early days.
- Players like Hardik, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav etc. are being groomed by the MI framchise into a better cricketers which is pleasing fornthe future of Indian cricket. Whereas CSK did groom players like R Ashwin, Suresh Raina, Jadeja who appeared in the Indian team after playing for CSK
- MI have always been a team which fights back hard, thanks to its Captain and amazing mentors like Ponting and Jonty in the past and Jayawardene and Zaheer now.
- CSK is known for it's consistent performance. It has never lost its stability of the team because of the extraordinary captaincy of MSD and guidance of Stephen Fleming.
- MI has won 4 IPL trophies and 2 CT whereas CSK has won 3 IPL amd 2 CT and qualified for the playoffs in every single tournament. Both achievements are great.
- MI had the best players of all time in their team like Sachin, Ponting, Jayasurya, Symonds, Malinga, Johnson, Pollard, Rohit etc and so do the CSK team. It featured Fleming, Hayden, McCullum, Hussey, Flintoff l, MSD, Raina etc.
In my perspective, both teams are great and iconic when compared to the other teams that play in the IPL.
