WHITE NOISE, NO BLUEPRINT: BRENDON MCCULLUM POINTS OUT BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CSK AND RCB!

There is no dearth of superstars in the Indian Premier League and yet, there are stark differences in results. Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore has never won the title while Chennai Super Kings (CSK) with MS Dhoni at the helm of affairs has won it thrice. Both the teams are no less than each other in terms of leadership and quality players and yet, what makes the difference?

Brendon McCullum, who has played for both the sides, has spoken about the difference between CSK and RCB in Scyld Berry's book "Cricket 2.0: Inside the T20 Revolution".

“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,” McCullum had said.

On the game front, owing to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was forced to postpone the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League to April 15 and looking at the enormity of the situation, the league could well be cancelled.
