Regarding the last edition, CSK was unable to qualify for the playoffs. Under Ruturaj Gaikwad's leadership, they won seven of their 14 group-stage matches and lost as many, ultimately placing fifth. At the conclusion of their league phase, they were tied with Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They were unable to pass, nevertheless, due to a lower net run rate. On March 23, the Chennai Super Kings will play their first match in Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium against the Mumbai Indians, who have won the IPL five times.
