‘Great, can’t wait for IPL’ – Fans react as MS Dhoni led-Chennai Super Kings (CSK) set to begin warm up camp for IPL 2024 on March 1

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are gearing up for the IPL 2024 as they kick off their camp on March 1. Notably, the defending champions have strategically strengthened their squad, making notable acquisitions in the auctions, including Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, Mustafizur Rahman, and Shardul Thakur. In addition, CSK aims to secure their sixth IPL title and continue their legacy of success in the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, CSK stands as one of the preeminent T20 franchises globally, clinching the IPL title five times in 14 seasons. However, despite a two-season ban due to a fixing and betting scandal, they made a triumphant return in 2018, securing the IPL trophy that season. In addition, the only franchise rivalling the Chennai Super Kings in T20 greatness is the Mumbai Indians, who reached the milestone of five IPL titles three seasons ahead of CSK.

Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings emerged victorious in the 2023 IPL, securing the title by defeating defending champions Gujarat Titans in the finals held in a rain-affected encounter in Ahmedabad. Notably, MS Dhoni is set to captain the Chennai-based franchise once again. The legendary cricketer is poised to fulfil his promise and lead the Chennai Super Kings for one more season.

MS Dhoni led-Chennai Super Kings (CSK) boast an illustrious IPL history

The 42-year-old cricketer asserts that the team has multiple prepared combinations, ensuring a sorted playing XI. However, widely considered a formidable force, CSK is anticipated to instil fear in other teams due to their well-rounded strength across all three cricket departments.

Meanwhile, the franchise boasts an illustrious IPL history, clinching the coveted title five times in the years 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023. Notably, their triumphant campaigns saw victories against the Mumbai Indians (2010), Royal Challengers Bangalore (2011), Sunrisers Hyderabad (2018), Kolkata Knight Riders (2021), and Gujarat Titans (2023) in the respective finals. Meanwhile, despite reaching the finals 10 times, CSK faced formidable competition from the Mumbai Indians, who emerged victorious in four out of five encounters against them in the summit clashes.
