One of the most glorious franchises in IPL history thus far, Chennai Super Kings won their comeback edition in 2018 against Sunrisers Hyderabad after being banned for 2 years. Despite losing in the summit clash against Mumbai Indians last year, CSK's management reinstated their faith on MS Dhoni's leadership and their core team - Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Faf Du Plessis, Shane Watson, and Dwayne Bravo.
