CSK are one of the powerhouses in this prestigious tournament, having won the IPL three times already. The key to their success is that they have always built a squad around MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja and Dwayne Bravo.

For the next season too, they have retained 22 players and bought an experienced IPL campaigner and former player in the form of Mohit Sharma. Their top-order consisting of Ambati Rayudu and Shane Watson is formidable, and provided several good starts in the last season.

The strength of the Chennai Super Kings is their middle-order, who have frequently rescued the team in times of peril. The addition of Lungi Ngidi and Imran Tahir last year has bolstered their relatively weak bowling department too.

CSK go into the IPL as the defending champions and favorites to continue their winning run.
