Even though Mumbai have more titles, Chennai is the city which enjoys the most IPL success. Despite two years without a team, Chennai Super Kings are one of the most succesful teams in the hitsory of the IPL. Three titles and five runners up finishes indicate the consistency with which Chennai plays every year.
The team rarely makes big changes before the auction, and it is a trend that last year’s runners up have continued this year.
The only notable releases by Chennai are Sam Billings and David Wiley. The team has retained the players they usually keep, including captain and franchise face M.S. Dhoni, who hasn’t played professional cricket since the ICC World Cup this summer.
