The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been one of the most successful Indian Premier League (IPL) teams since the T20 cricket league's inception in 2008. They have won the IPL Championships five times (tied with Mumbai Indians) and have ended the season as the runners-up five times (the most in the league). Throughout their 16-year presence in the IPL, two players have remained a constant presence in the dugout: MS Dhoni and Stephen Fleming. While Dhoni led the team during their most successful era, it was Fleming who ran the show from beyond the boundary cushions and on the training pitch.

The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to kick off the 2025 IPL season with a match against their arch-rivals Mumbai Indians (MI) on March 23, 2025.
