Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be starting their camp for IPL 2024 on March 1. The defending champions are ready to roar in the upcoming season and they have built a really strong squad for the upcoming season. They made great acquisitions in the auctions by acquiring the likes of Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shradul Thakur. They are ready to defend their IPL title and win it again for the sixth time in IPL history.
CSK is one of the most successful T20 franchises in the world having won the IPL five times in 14 seasons. They were banned for two seasons due to a fixing and betting scandal but returned with a bang in 2018 as they won the IPL trophy that season. The only team that matches Chennai Super Kings in the list of Best T20 franchises is Mumbai Indians who have also won the IPL five times and they did it three seasons before Chennai Super Kings reached their five titles.
Chennai Super Kings won the 2023 IPL, defeating defending champions Gujarat Titans in the finals in a rain-affected encounter in Ahmedabad. MS Dhoni will be leading the Chennai-based franchise again and this might be his last season in the IPL. He announced after the IPL final win last year that he will try to return for one more season for his fans and he is ready to keep his promise and play one more season for Chennai Super Kings where he will be leading the side.
The Chennai Super Kings has a strong line-up in the squad and according to former India Cricketer Irfan Pathan, they have more than one combination already prepared and their playing XI is sorted. They are one of the teams that the others will fear because of the balanced side they have in all three departments.
