Rating Chennai Super Kings' performance in each IPL from 2008-18

2018, Champions

CSK won their 3rd IPL title in the year 2018 after being suspended for 2 years.

The year 2016 and 2017 proved to be the worst ones for Chennai Super Kings fans as their team didn’t play in the IPL for these two years.

Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals were the two sides who were banned due to their involvement in the betting controversy.

However, CSK made their comeback in the year 2018 in style as they went on to win their third IPL title.

CSK stunned the whole cricket world with their strategy in the auction for IPL 2018 as the franchise placed bids on older players like Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu instead of the younger ones.

However, this proved to be the season-winning trick for their side as the experienced CSK players stole the whole show.

Dhoni’s trust saw young pacers like Shardul Thakur and Deepak Chahar rise as CSK produced a new match-winner in every match. In the end, Shane Watson won the final of VIVO IPL 2018 for his side with his mind-boggling century against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
