Despite coming back from a layoff of two years, the franchise's popularity amongst fans hasn't dipped one bit. In fact, Chennai fans are backing the Men In Yellow Jersey and their inspirational skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni with full vigour.
Chennai Super Kings, two-time IPL champions, are going to start their campaign against defending champions Mumbai Indians in the tournament opener.
Chennai retained MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis and went on to purchase players like Shane Watson, Sam Billings, Mark Wood, Harbhajan Singh, Kedar Jadhav etc.
The team looks settled, although it heavily comprises experienced/veteran players. Still, this team is already billed as one of the top contenders for playoffs stages, due to the presence of Dhoni.
