Chennai Super Kings 

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are a cricketing powerhouse that has redefined excellence and is the most reliable Indian Premier League (IPL) team ever. 

Since its founding in 2008, under the leadership of the renowned MS Dhoni, CSK has won five IPL titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023). They have only finished below fourth place three times, which is evidence of their supremacy. 

With significant support from India Cements, the Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited owns the franchise, which was acquired for Rs 360 crore (about US$91 million). India Cements is chaired by N. Srinivasan, a former chairman of the ICC and president of the BCCI.  

CSK, who play their home games at Tamil Nadu’s famed M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, is driven by the fervent devotion of their army of yellow-clad “Whistle Podu” supporters. The team, led by coach Stephen Fleming and currently captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad, continues to represent reliability and strategic skill. 

Despite being suspended for two years in 2016 because of the 2013 IPL betting scandal, CSK returned spectacularly and regained the top spot. With two Champions League Twenty20 titles, five IPL trophies, and India’s first unicorn sports company status in 2022, CSK remains the embodiment of Chennai’s spirit, turning every game into a celebration of cricketing greatness.
