SOUNDBITE: (English) Francois du Plessis, batsman with the Chennai Super Kings
"First of all to get an opportunity in a great team like this, I think its quite hard come and where by ten overseas players every year with IPL (Indian Premier League). First of all you want to make your mark you want prove to people that you can play in the starting eleven and do that you just take your chance and do well, so for me it was nice as IPL just to use that opportunity first and do well. Now its about putting my name forward to be on first eleven on every game."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Francois du Plessis, batsman with the Chennai Super Kings
"I think its our ability to play well as a team, I think its difficult when you have so many international players and deferent back rounds and deferent people. What the management and the staff has done well is to try and get the team quick as possible and also the way they have bought in actions. They have retain those player that were in the previous IPL, so. I think is about getting a good unit together over a couple of seasons its quiet hard to be buying new players and they always coming as a new, you always looking to create team so Chennai has done that very well, they've got a good team environment."
