Moments after Ravindra Jadeja flapped Mohit Sharma to the fine-leg fence to signal CSK's fifth IPL title triumph, the Bits and Pieces gang assembled to discuss the most engrossing final in the world of cricket this year. That's right! Tune in for a detailed preview to the World Test Championship final between India and Australia. Hehe, kidding. We talk till the cows come home about Chennai Super Kings' vexing title triumph, MS Dhoni's coronation not being a causation for their success, Rayudu's skills at bringing home the biryani, Thala's batting, Shivam Dube's long levers, Dhoni's captaincy, Ajinkya Rahane's complete transformation into a world-feared middle-order basher, MSD's irritating ability to make it all about himself even when he's seemingly trying to do the opposite, but not really, Devon Conway's Player of the Final award that he'll struggle to explain to his grandkids years from now, Mumbai Indians' tendency to copy ideas from Captain Cool and much much more. Oh, and we talk about Dhoni. Today we are all Dhoni. Plus great ideas around how Saudi Arabia can save Test cricket, and inputs on the Eden Gardens' pitch curator's block list.
