Chepauk is the locality in Chennai where the iconic MA Chidambaram stadium is located, and the stadium is better known by its monicker ‘Chepauk’. The owners automatically earn brownie points for including Chepauk in the name, but lose points because they went the ‘CSK’ way too with the use of the word ‘super’.

‘Gillies’ is used to refer to the local game of ‘gilli danda’ and thus the name is quite unique. The side is owned by Metronation Chennai Television Private Limited and they decided against using their brand in the name.
