As we have mentioned above, CSK is deemed to be one of the most successful franchises in the history of the Indian Premier League. The team led by the skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni has pushed through the seasons triumphantly. As a result, their trophy shelf is occupied with 5 championship trophies from 5 different seasons. In this section, we will take a deep look into the victory journey of the Chennai Super Kings over the years.
Chennai Super Kings claimed their maiden IPL title in the year 2010, 2 years after the first season of the Indian Premier League. The key highlights of the tournament were the crucial half-century of Suresh Raina. In addition, a strong bowling performance by the pacer Doug Bollinger. CSK made a 22-run victory against Mumbai Indians and that marked the start of a decade-long rivalry between the two giants.
The 2011 season is when the Chennai Super Kings established themselves as champions for the second time consecutively. They claimed their spot in the championship as one of the most dominating franchises. They sent shockwaves across the tournament by winning back-to-back titles in a final against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Murali Vijay’s explosive batting where he clinched 95 runs contributed majorly towards the second title of CSK.
Chennai Super Kings had faced a two-year ban under various allegations resulting in them staying out of the tournament. However, they made a stunning comeback in the year 2018, clinching their third IPL title. The hero of the match was Shane Watson by scoring a heroic century against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
2020 was not the year for CSK since they were not the team as before. However, they bounced back in 2021 by beating every team in the league and lifting the trophy. Ruturaj Gaikwad, Josh Hazlewood, and Faf du Plessis proved themselves to be assets to the team with their wonderful performances throughout the season.
By taking home their fifth IPL championship in 2023, CSK added yet another feather to their cap. CSK defeated Gujarat Titans in a rain-shortened final, thanks to Devon Conway’s game-winning hit and MS Dhoni’s inspiring leadership.
