IPL 2018: 4 teams that look likely to qualify for the playoffs after the first half of the season

#2 Chennai Super Kings

CSK is back after serving two years of suspension.

After missing the previous two seasons of the IPL because of the suspension, the Chennai-based team is back and they started from where they left off.

CSK won five out of their first seven matches and are at the second spot on the points table. They are one of the most experienced teams in the IPL and capable of winning games under tough conditions.

They built the team around the core players from the previous seasons and retained MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, and Ravindra Jadeja along with signing back Murli Vijay during the auctions. CSK also signed veterans like Harbhajan Singh and Shane Watson to their squad.

With a great start and plenty of talented players, CSK are among the favorites to win the tournament.
