MS Dhoni, the former India captain, has been the face of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League since its start. Four IPL championship championships have been won under his direction, the most recent being the 2021 season. Stephen Fleming is another individual who has been essential to CSK’s success.

Fleming has played a crucial role in the structure of CSK and has provided the players with the greatest training available. Due to the Covid-19 virus outbreak in India, the competition was moved to the United Arab Emirates. The tournament was played in the UAE again for the second half in 2021, however it had to be stopped midway due to the same issue.

The final round of the 2022 tournament was held in India, but the home-and-away format was abandoned to prevent players from travelling too much during the pandemic. The home and away format will return for the 16th IPL season, and matches will finally be held at CSK’s home stadium, Chepauk.

The players haven’t participated in an IPL game at the venue in three years, so it will undoubtedly be difficult for many of them, especially the younger group. Stephen Fleming discussed playing the forthcoming edition in Chennai in a video posted by the franchise on their YouTube account.

“We quickly have to get back into sync with the ground” – Stephen Fleming

He said: “We have to really play well, and we have to reteach the team how to play. We’ve had three or four years almost where we’ve been away, so our style of play has changed. So, we quickly have to get back into sync with the ground and make sure that the style of play we play represents what the ground’s asking. And, we’ll do that and we need to do it quickly. So, we’ll work very hard on that.”

The greatest move made by CSK in the recently concluded IPL 2023 Auction was to sign England all-rounder Ben Stokes to their roster. The team’s composition will change significantly in the following season as the four-time winners pursue their fifth championship.
