Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is one of the most reputed and successful teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). They have tasted more success than any other franchise in the history of the event. MS Dhoni was assigned the role of captaincy in 2008 and he has been the single leader of the team ever since. As a marker of success, the team qualified for the playoffs in all the 9 seasons, played 7 finals and has won three IPL trophies.

CSK made it to the final in 2008, but couldn’t cross the finish line. However, they made amends in 2010 by lifting the championship for the maiden occasion and in the same year, they became the winners in the Champions League T20 as well. In 2011, Dhoni’s men defended their IPL title and became the first team to win back-to-back titles in the mega event.

CSK’s scintillating run

In 2014, they won the CLT20 for the second time. Nevertheless, they have had to go through some tough times as well. The team officials were found guilty of betting and other undesired scandals owing to which the Supreme Court slapped it with a two-year suspension. Subsequently, the franchise didn’t take part in the 2016 and 2017 edition of the T20 extravaganza.

CSK made a comeback this year and quite expectantly, the supporters were ecstatic. To Chennai’s dismay, troubles didn’t elude them as their home venue had to be shifted from the Chepauk to the MCA Stadium in Pune. The Yellow Army, instead of letting the situations ruffle them, ensured that they concentrated on their cricket and emerge triumphant for the third time in the tournament.

They stumbled in the middle of the event but ensured that they win enough matches to not let the losses mar their campaign. CSK also have played the game with dignity and hardly resorted to any unfair means and hence, they have also won the IPL Fair Play Award as many as six times. Following their victory this season, their official Twitter handle posted a picture of their trophies. CSK in their cabinet have three IPL championship trophies, a couple of Champions League T20s and the Fair Play Awards.
