A long-time CSK fan who started CSK Den to scratch his own itch for proper Chennai Super Kings stats. He spends a little too much time digging through IPL numbers and turning them into articles he'd actually want to read. No expert badges here — just genuine love for the team, a soft spot for a Dhoni finish, and a habit of double-checking the data.

CSK Den is not affiliated with Chennai Super Kings, Joburg Super Kings, Texas Super Kings, the IPL, SA20, Major League Cricket, or the BCCI.
