In September 2007, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)

Chennai Super Kings in 2018
announced the establishment of the Indian Premier League, a Twenty20
competition to be started in 2008.[9] In January 2008, the BCCI unveiled
the owners of eight city-based franchises. The Chennai franchise was sold to the India Cements for $91 million,
making it the fourth most expensive team in the league behind Mumbai, Bangalore and Hyderabad.[10] India Cements
acquired the rights to the franchise for 10 years. Former ICC Chairman N. Srinivasan was the de facto owner of the
Chennai Super Kings, by means of his position as the vice-chairman and managing director of India Cements Ltd. The
franchisee was transferred to a separate entity named Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd., after the Supreme Court of
India struck down the controversial amendment to the BCCI constitution's clause 6.2.4 that allowed board officials to
have a commercial interest in the IPL and the Champions League T20 on January 22, 2015.[11]
Team history
2008–2009: First seasons

During the first player auctions for the inaugural IPL season
conducted in January 2008, the Chennai franchise bought a number
of contemporary star cricketers such as Mahendra Singh Dhoni,
Matthew Hayden, Stephen Fleming, Muttiah Muralitharan and
Michael Hussey.[12] Dhoni became the costliest player of the auction,
as the Chennai franchise bought him for $1.5 million.[13] The
franchise named Dhoni as the captain of the team and appointed
Kepler Wessels as the head coach.[14] They played their first game on
April 19, 2008 against Kings XI Punjab at Mohali. The Super Kings
Chennai Super Kings playing the Kolkata
won the game by 33 runs after posting 240/5 in 20 overs, which was Knight Riders at the M. A. Chidambaram
the highest total of the tournament, a record surpassed by themselves Stadium in the 2008 Indian Premier
in 2010.[15] The Super Kings ended the league stage with eight wins League.
from 14 games and finished third on the points table.[16] They beat the
Kings XI Punjab by 9 wickets in the semifinal.[17] The Super Kings
faced the Rajasthan Royals in the final of the IPL at Mumbai. Batting first, the Super Kings scored 163/5 in 20 overs
and lost the game by 3 wickets off the final delivery of the match.[18] They also earned a spot in the inaugural
Champions League Twenty20 along with Rajasthan, but the tournament was cancelled due to the 2008 Mumbai
Attacks and the Super Kings, along with Rajasthan, received $5 million each as compensation.[19] Fleming, who had
decided to retire from all forms of the game after the first season of the IPL, took over as the coach of the Super Kings
team from Wessels for the next season which was to be held in South Africa.
For the 2009 season, the Super Kings bought English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million at the auction
making him the highest-paid IPL cricketer along with English teammate Kevin Pietersen who was bought for the same
amount by Royal Challengers Bangalore.[20] However, Flintoff played only 3 matches for them before suffering a knee
injury that ruled him out of the season. The Super Kings were also without the services of Hussey who had decided to
skip the IPL season to focus on The Ashes.[21] The Super Kings finished with 17 points from 14 matches and earned a
second place at the league table.[22] However, at the semi-finals, their hopes of entering the final for a second time
were crushed by the Royal Challengers who beat them by 6 wickets.[23] The Super Kings opener Matthew Hayden, who
scored 572 runs in 12 innings with 5 half-centuries at an average of 52 and strike-rate of 145, won the Orange Cap for
the leading run-scorer of the season[24] and was also adjudged Player of the Tournament.
2010: IPL and CLT20 double

In 2010, the Super Kings struggled in the first half of the regular season, winning only two matches out of seven. They
won four of their next five games in the season mainly due to the efforts of Murali Vijay and Suresh Raina. After a
defeat at home to the Delhi Daredevils, the Super Kings were left with a must-win match against Kings XI Punjab at
Dharamshala. The Super Kings won the match by six wickets as they chased down the target of 193 with two balls to
spare with skipper Dhoni scoring an unbeaten 54 from 29 balls.[25] Thus, with seven wins from 14 matches, Chennai
finished with the same number of points as three other teams with two semi-final spots at stake. Chennai got the third
place as they had the better net run rate of the four teams which finished on 14 points.[26] In the semifinal, the Super
Kings scored a modest 142/7 in 20 overs against the defending champions Deccan Chargers. But an inspired bowling
spell from Doug Bollinger (4/13 in four overs) did the most damage as the Chargers were bowled out for 104. This gave
the Super Kings a 38-run victory that took them to the final.[27] The Super Kings faced the tournament favorites
Mumbai Indians at their home ground in the final.[28] Suresh Raina's 57 (35) helped the Super Kings recover from
68/3 after 12 overs to put up 168/5 at the end of their 20 overs. Then, their spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and
Muralitharan conceded only 41 runs in the 8 overs bowled between them to help the Super Kings won the game by 22
runs and secure their first ever IPL title.[29] With this, the Super Kings also qualified for the 2010 Champions League
Twenty20 that was held in South Africa.
At the Champions League, the Super Kings were placed in Group A along with champions of Twenty20 competitions
from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The Super Kings topped the Group table with three wins
and a Super Over defeat to the Victorian Bushrangers.[30] In the semi-final at Durban, the Super Kings
comprehensively defeated IPL rivals Royal Challengers Bangalore by 52 runs. Raina won the Man of the match for his
unbeaten 94 off 48 balls.[31] The Super Kings played their first CLT20 final at Johannesburg where they beat the
Chevrolet Warriors by 8 wickets, becoming the first IPL team to win the CLT20.[32] Murali Vijay won not only the Man
of the Match in the final for his 58 but also the Golden Bat for scoring the most runs in the tournament and Ashwin,
who was the leading wicket-taker, was adjudged the Player of the Series. At the end of the season, Matthew Hayden
decided to retire from the IPL.
2011–2015
In 2011, as two new teams were added to the IPL, the IPL Governing Council
declared that each franchise could retain a maximum of four players of their squad,
only three of whom can be Indian players, and the rest of the international players
would be put in the mega-auction. The Chennai franchise, keen to have the same
set of core players, retained captain MS Dhoni, vice-captain Suresh Raina, Murali
Vijay and all-rounder Albie Morkel for a total of $4.5 million. The retention left
them with the power of spending only $4.5 million at the mega-auction. At the
auction, they bought back some of their star players of previous seasons such as
Hussey, Ashwin, Bollinger and Subramaniam Badrinath. In the 2011 IPL, they lost
three of their first five games which placed them at the bottom of the ten-team
points table.[33] But then, they went on to win seven of their next eight games to
finish second and register a spot in the knockout stages. They faced the top-ranked
Suresh Raina is the leading
team Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Qualifying final which they won by 6
run-scorer for the Super
Kings wickets thanks to an unbeaten 73 from Suresh Raina.[34] In the final, they faced the
same opponents again, which was held at their home ground Chepauk. Vijay and
Hussey put on a 133-run first-wicket partnership that helped the Super Kings to
post a total of 205/5. Their bowlers, then, restricted Bangalore to only 147 to take the Super Kings to second
consecutive title in the IPL. Vijay was awarded Man of the Match for his match-winning innings of 95.[35] CSK also
won all their home games that season becoming the first team in IPL to achieve the feat. However at the Champions
League later that year, they won only one out of their four group matches and finished at the bottom.[36]
In 2012, the franchise signed up Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for $2 million at the players' auction.[37] They got
off to a rather slow start in the regular season, winning only five of their first 12 games which put them in doubt of
qualifying for the Playoffs. Then they won three of their last four matches and qualified for the Playoffs with a better
net run rate than the Royal Challengers who also finished with the same number of points.[38] In the Eliminator, they
beat the Mumbai Indians by 38 runs before comprehensively beating the table-toppers Delhi Daredevils in the
Qualifying final by 86 runs. Murali Vijay, who struck his second IPL hundred (113 off 58 balls), won the Man of the
Match.[39] At the final, the Super Kings were defeated by 5 wickets by the Kolkata Knight Riders who chased down the
target of 191 with two balls to spare, thus denying the Super Kings a hat-trick of titles in the IPL.[40] At the Champions
League, once again they could not progress past the group stage with two wins and two defeats.[41]
In 2013, the Super Kings strengthened their bowling attack by signing up five overseas and five Indian bowlers.[42] In
the IPL season, they finished first in the points table with 11 wins from 16 matches and qualified for the Playoffs and
2013 CLT20.[43] This was the first time in six seasons that the Super Kings had topped the league table of the IPL.
During the season, they also equaled Royal Challengers Bangalore's 2011 record for most wins in succession in the IPL
(7 wins on trot).[44] In the first Qualifier at Delhi against Mumbai Indians, the Super Kings posted 192/1 in 20 overs
riding on unbeaten half-centuries from Hussey (86* off 58 balls) and Raina (82* off 42 balls) before bowling out their
opponents for 144.[45] Thus they entered the final of the IPL for the fourth time in succession where they would play
the same opponents, Mumbai Indians, at Kolkata. At the final, batting first, the Mumbai Indians made 148/9 in their
20 overs. In reply, the Super Kings were reduced to 39/6 at one stage before an unbeaten half-century from skipper
Dhoni took them close to the target. However, Mumbai Indians won the match by 23 runs to win their first ever IPL
title.[46] Super Kings opening batsman Michael Hussey, who scored 733 runs that season at an average of 52, won the
Orange Cap for the most runs in the season while all-rounder Dwayne Bravo won the Purple Cap for bagging the most
wickets (32).[47] The Super Kings gained direct qualification for the 2013 CLT20 which was held in India in
September–October. They were placed in Group B alongside Brisbane Heat, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Titans and
Trinidad & Tobago. They won their first three games before losing the final group match against Trinidad & Tobago.
With 12 points from four matches,[48] the Super Kings progressed to the semifinals where they suffered a 14-run defeat
at the hands of the Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur.[49]
In 2014, before the players' mega-auction, Chennai retained Dhoni, Raina, Jadeja, Ashwin and Bravo. The retention
left them with a purse of 21 crores to spend at the auction. At the auction, the franchise bought the likes of Brendon
McCullum, Dwayne Smith, Faf du Plessis, Ashish Nehra, Mohit Sharma among others. The first phase of the IPL
season, as it coincided with the general elections, was held in UAE. The second phase returned to India, but the Super
Kings' home matches were shifted from Chennai, due to "a deadlock between stadium authorities and the state
administration", to JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi.[50][51] The Super Kings started the season with a defeat in
the opening match, after which they went on to win eight of their next nine matches to take the first spot in the points
table. However, they suffered a loss of form towards the end of the regular season which resulted in three consecutive
defeats.[52] They won their last league fixture and finished third in the points table and qualified for the Eliminator
against the fourth-placed Mumbai Indians. They won the Eliminator at Mumbai by 7 wickets and qualified for the
Qualifier. At the Qualifier against Kings XI Punjab, the Super Kings won the toss and elected to field. Punjab went on
to score 226/6 in their 20 overs. The Super Kings, in reply, could manage only 202/7 despite a 25-ball 87 from
Raina.[53] They crashed out of the IPL, but, on account of finishing third, qualified for the main event of the 2014
CLT20. In the group stage of the CLT20, the Super Kings won two matches, lost one while another match was a no
result. Thus with 10 points they finished second in the group table[54] and qualified for the semifinal where they met
the unbeaten team of the other group, Kings XI Punjab. After being put in to bat, the Super Kings posted 182/7 in 20
overs thanks to Bravo who scored a 39-ball 67. Then their bowlers reduced Punjab to 34/6 in the eighth over, and
Punjab were eventually bowled out for 117.[55] At the final in Bangalore, the Super Kings faced the IPL champions
Kolkata Knight Riders who set them a target of 181 in 20 overs. Raina guided the run-chase with an unbeaten 109 off
62 balls, helping the team to an eight-wicket win and their second CLT20 title.[56] Super Kings spinner Pawan Negi
who took 5/22 during Kolkata's innings won the Man of the Match, and Raina, who finished as the highest run-getter
of the tournament, was awarded Man of the Tournament.[57]
In 2015, before the players' auction, Chennai Super Kings gave away Ben Hilfenhaus, John Hastings, Vijay Shankar
and David Hussey. At the auction they bought back Michael Hussey for a price of Rs.1.5 crores. They also bought Kyle
Abbott, Irfan Pathan, Andrew Tye, Eklavya Dwivedi, Ankush Bains, Pratyush Singh and Rahul Sharma. In the final,
they lost against Mumbai.[58]

seating capacity of 50,000 as of May 2013.[59] In 2010, the stadium underwent a major renovation for hosting some of
the matches of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. The seating capacity was increased from 36,000 to 50,000 and three
new stands were established during this renovation.
The Super Kings have a 67.44% win record at this venue, which is often referred to as "Fortress Chepauk"[60] and
"Lions' den".[61] In the 2011 season, the Super Kings won all their home games (8 matches) including the final against
Royal Challengers Bangalore. The Super Kings thus became the first team to win all their home games in a season and
also the first team to win the tournament at home.
In 2014, Chennai Super Kings played all their home matches at Ranchi due to issues with Government of Tamil Nadu.
In 2018, Chennai Super Kings managed to play a solitary home game against Kolkata Knight Riders due to members
of a few fringe political parties staging protests outside the stadium as well as several parts of Chennai demanding the
IPL matches to be moved out of the city until the Cauvery Management Board (CMB) was set up as directed by the
honourable Supreme Court of India. Despite tight security for the match against KKR, the Chennai police expressed
their inability in ensuring enough personnel at the venue for the smooth conduct of the remaining games. The
remaining six home matches of Chennai Super Kings were moved out of Chennai. Maharashtra Cricket Association
Stadium in Pune was selected to host the remaining six home matches of Chennai Super Kings.[62]

Players
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who was the captain of the Indian limited-overs
team in 2008, was bought by the Super Kings for $1.5 million at the 2008
players' auction. He was the most expensive player in the IPL until 2009
when the Super Kings signed up English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for
$1.55 million. Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in the IPL,
having led the Super Kings to six finals of which the team has won two.[63]
The vice-captain of the team from 2008 to 2015 was Suresh Raina. Raina
holds multiple IPL records such as most caps, most runs and most
catches.[64] Australian batsman Michael Hussey has the best batting Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the first
average for the Super Kings.[65] He was the first batsman from the Super Indian captain to win the IPL.
Kings to score a century in the IPL. After Matthew Hayden's retirement in
2010, Hussey took over his place of opening batsman and was the team's
leading run-scorer in 2011 and 2013 seasons.[66][67] Murali Vijay, who played for the team from 2009 to 2013, is the
first Indian batsman to score two centuries in the IPL. Super Kings' spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has the third best
economy rate in IPL (6.53)[68] and is the leading wicket-taker for the team.[69]
Team identity
Team name, logo design, crest and colors

The Chennai franchise named the team as Chennai Super Kings to honor the rulers of the Tamil empire. The word
"super" is used commonly in southern India especially in Tamil Nadu. The team name also derives from India
Cements' brand "Coromandel King".[70]
The team logo features the head of a roaring lion in orange and the team name rendered in blue. The crown above the
team name is the same as that used in the logo of the brand Coromandel King. According to the logo designers, since
lion is the king of the jungle, the roaring lion logo reflects the team name. The details of the logo signifies various
qualities such as youth, vibrancy, solid performance orientation and fiery spirit.[71]
The team's primary colour is yellow with blue and orange stripes on either sides of the jersey. The jersey also
incorporates the roaring lion logo in the center of the shirt below the logo of the main sponsor Aircel. The basic look of
the jersey has remained same from the first season with no changes except for the sponsor placement. The kit
manufacturer until 2014 was Reebok and from 2015, Australian Apparel and Sports Gear manufacturer Spartan
manufactures kits for the team.
Kit and sponsors

Muthoot Group is the current principal shirt sponsor, having signed a three year deal in 2018.[72] Telecom service
provider Aircel was the previous shirt sponsor after they signed a three-year deal in 2008 which was then renewed in
2011 for 850 million, then the most expensive sponsorship deal in IPL.[73][74] The team also has sponsorship deals
with India Cements, Gulf Oil, Equitas Small Finance Bank, HIL, Nippon Paint, Parle Agro Frooti and Atria
Convergence Technologies.[75]

Theme song
The team's theme song is the Whistle Podu designed by Aravind-Shankar (duo of Aravind Murali and Jaishankar
Iyer). Although the track was created only for YouTube in 2008, it gained popularity during the 2009 season and later
became the team's theme song. The video of the song represents the street dance form of dappangutthu which is very
popular among certain communities in Tamil Nadu. It is also a folk dance and music genre employed in Tamil cinema.
The recordings of some of the Super Kings players whistling were used in the music video.[76]
Rivalries
The Chennai Super Kings are the most consistent and their records are still left unbeaten despite the 2 years ban in
2016, 2017 seasons. Though other teams consider CSK as a strong rival, Chennai Super Kings record of reaching
knockout stage every played season is unmatched by any team in IPL history.
The Chennai Super Kings have active rivalries with the Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The
Super Kings and Mumbai Indians have played against each other more number of times than any other two teams in
the IPL.[77] They are the two most successful IPL teams and often termed as "big spenders" at the players
auction.[78][79] The two sides have met each other at the final of the IPL thrice, with Mumbai winning two of them and
Chennai winning once.
The rivalry with Royal Challengers Bangalore stems from the Kaveri River water dispute between the states of
Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The rivalry is also called "Kaveri derby" and "South Indian derby".[80][81][82] The Super
Kings beat the Royal Challengers in the final of the 2011 IPL, the only meeting between the two teams at an IPL final.
Financial worth
The Economic Times commissioned UK-based Brand Finance to carry out brand evaluation of the IPL and also each of
the eight franchise teams (that was increased to 10 in 2011). Chennai Super Kings was rated as the "most valuable
team" in the Indian Premier League in 2010–11, with a brand value of $100 million (approximately 2.24 billion).[83]
In February 2013, London based Brand Finance evaluated the top 150 most valuable teams in the world, in which
Chennai Super Kings is placed in the 147th place valued at $46 million just behind the Mumbai Indians.[84]
Controversies
Until September 2008, BCCI regulation, Clause 6.2.4 stated that "No administrator could have, directly or indirectly,
any commercial interest in the matches or events conducted by the board". However, N. Srinivasan, who was then the
treasurer and vice-chairman of BCCI, became the de facto owner of the Chennai Super Kings since he was the
Managing Director of India Cements. Former BCCI President A. C. Muthiah wrote to the BCCI regarding the violation
of this clause in 2008 but the BCCI did not respond. In September 2008, Muthiah went to the Madras High Court to
restrain BCCI from allowing Srinivasan to participate in the general body meeting where the election was to be held.
However, the suit was dismissed by the High Court and the following day, Srinivasan was elected as the Secretary of
BCCI.[85] The clause was amended as "No administrator shall have, directly or indirectly, any commercial interest in
any of the events of the BCCI, excluding IPL, Champions League and Twenty20".[86] Muthiah then moved to the
Supreme Court which gave a split verdict in April 2011. Later in August 2011, Muthiah filed another petition to stop
Srinivasan from taking over as the BCCI President[87] but the Supreme Court rejected the petition, and Srinivasan was
elected the President of BCCI.[88]
In 2011, the owners of other teams were concerned about the possible rigging that could have taken place in the IPL
auctions. Nita Ambani, the owner of Mumbai Indians questioned the changing the order of players just before the
auction began.[89] Former IPL chairman Lalit Modi accused Srinivasan of arm-twisting him and rigging the 2009 IPL
auction to ensure that English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff was bought by the Chennai Super Kings while it was
refuted by Srinivasan.[90]
In May 2013, Gurunath Meiyappan, son-in-law of Srinivasan, was arrested by Mumbai Police on charges of placing
bets on IPL matches [91] Meiyappan, who was the Team Principal of the Super Kings, was issued a summons by the
Mumbai Police and on interrogation it was found that Meiyappan was in contact with bookies through actor Vindu
Dara Singh.[92] Following this, Srinivasan, on 2 June 2013, decided to step aside as BCCI President temporarily until
the inquiry into the betting case completed.[93] In February 2014, the three member panel appointed by the Supreme
Court of India enquired into the betting case indicted Meiyappan for illegal betting during the 2013 IPL.[94]
On 25 March 2014, the Supreme Court of India issued an ultimatum to the BCCI demanding that Srinivasan either
step down as President or be removed from his position.[95] On 14 July 2015, the Supreme Court appointed RM Lodha
committee suspended the owners of Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings from the Indian Premier League for a
period of two years.[3] On 24 February 2016, the Supreme Court of India agreed to hear a plea for lifting the ban on the
Chennai Super Kings.[96]
