The hunt for the junior team of the Chennai Super Kings commences March 7th. The show spanning over 20 episodes will have trials at Chennai, Coimbatore and Trichy. The first level trials took place in Trichy and over 1000 enthusiastic and eager boys took part with zest. Close to 80 boys were shortlisted after the first day trial. The boys were tested on their basic skills of the game. Their batting and bowling skills were judged by the Trichy District Cricket Association Officials. Next set of trials will take place in Coimbatore which will be followed by Chennai.
One team of 11 would be chosen from Coimbatore and Trichy and 3 from Chennai for the main leg of competition. In the next leg of competition, these 5 teams would compete in a league of matches in the round robin format. At the end of which, only 3 teams make it to the next level. These teams will then be put to test on their cricket trivia; with their parents also a part of the competition. The final 2 teams will compete in a 20-20 match which will decide the winners.
The winning 11 will be recognized as the Chennai Super Kings Juniors; and will get to watch the matches of the team in Chennai sitting at the Pavilion. The top 3 contenders (i.e. the best bowler, best batsman and best all rounder) will get an exclusive opportunity to be present with the CSK team at their nets and will also get the once in a lifetime chance to travel with the team to any one of the other IPL matches. The show hosted by RJ Balaji and Jayashree promises to be a treat for Cricket lovers; with the CSK team members walking in to encourage and train the kids. Pepsodent Chennai Super Kings Juniors - one hour show will launch from March 7, 2009 and will air on Saturday & Sunday 7pm in Vijay TV.
