Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings have reportedly roped in Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif as their brand ambassador ahead of the IPL 2024 season.

MS Dhoni-led CSK will enter the upcoming edition of IPL as the defending champions and Katrina Kaif will join the franchise to add more to their already humongous brand value.

As per a report from ABP News, the five-time IPL Champions will also be changing their logo ahead of the forthcoming edition of the cash-rich league. CSK made it to the playoffs twelve times in fourteen seasons, which solidifies their status as a consistent challenger for the IPL trophy.

With five titles each, the MS Dhoni-led side shares the record for most title victories in the tournament's history with the Mumbai Indians (MI).

The Chennai-based franchise made some interesting buys in the IPL 2024 Auction, held in Dubai last year, by roping in the services of overseas players such as Daryl Mitchell, Rachin Ravindra, and Mustafizur Rahman.

At the IPL mini auction, CSK also bought India all-rounder Shardul Thakur, and youngsters such as Sameer Rizvi, and Avanish Rao Aravelly in their Indian contingent.

CSK's opening combination of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway has emerged as a formidable partnership, significantly contributing to the team's success in IPL 2023. In the middle order, the five-time champions possess a plethora of batting talent with players like Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, and MS Dhoni.

Each of these batsmen has showcased their ability to unleash destructive strokes, playing pivotal roles in securing memorable victories for CSK. Dhoni's adeptness in finishing matches, Dube's explosive batting, and Jadeja's knack for performing under pressure collectively make CSK's batting lineup well-rounded and formidable.
