IPL 2024: Chennai Super Kings, full schedule, match time, SWOT analysis
With five trophies already in their pocket, they would look to go for one last hurrah under the captaincy of Thala Dhoni to become the best team in IPL history with six titles to their name

The Chennai Super Kings under MS Dhoni was probably one of the best teams to have graced any sport or league, not only cricket and IPL. They are one of the most followed and revered units with the status of almost a cult fit. But in the 17th edition of Indian Premier League (IPL 2024), CSK will start their campaign under the leadership of Ruturaj Gaikwad with Dhoni helping him to finetune his start of captaincy career.
Super Kings have won five IPL titles so far and in IPL 2024, which is termed as CSK's transition year, it would be interesting to how the team fair under the leadership of new captain.
The biggest strength of the Chennai side is their team balance. Although Devon Conway is injured, the fact that they have already signed up Rachin Ravindra would serve them well, as he would easily slide into the role of an opening left-handed batter.

This planning is not just for one slot but almost all, except the captaincy one. They have Mitchell Santner if Maheesh Theekshana fails, Tushar Deshpande if Mathisha Pathirana fails to recover in time, and a young Nishant Sindhu if a player as big as Ravindra Jadeja gets injured.

Weakness- Injury concerns
Injury concerns are the biggest weakness of the yellow brigade. Conway has already been ruled out for the first month of the IPL at least, while Pathirana, Shivam Dube and, in fact, skipper Dhoni have not had the best of fitness coming into the IPL. Pathirana and Dube are not even declared fully fit as of yet.
Ajinkya Rahane is ageing, Deepak Chahar is coming after recovery from an injury, and Moeen Ali is not in his best shape either. Thus, injury is the biggest weakness of CSK.
