A Quick History of CSK IPL Team

In September 2007, the BCCI introduced the Indian Premier League (IPL) for 2008. In January 2008, eight franchises were revealed, with Chennai Super Kings being sold to India Cements for $91 million, the fourth-highest bid. N. Srinivasan, linked to India Cements, effectively owned Chennai Super Kings. 

The franchise was initially under India Cements but later moved to a separate entity, Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd., following a Supreme Court decision against officials having commercial interests in IPL Cricket.

2024 Chennai Super Kings Team Name, Logo, Crest, and Colors

Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the IPL Top Team, got its name from the rulers of the Tamil empire. They included "super" because it's a word often used in Tamil Nadu. The name is also linked to "Coromandel King," which is connected to India Cements. 

The 2024 Chennai Super Kings Team logo until now is still a strong lion, showing qualities like being young and full of energy. CSK's colors are yellow with blue and orange stripes. 

Their theme song, "Whistle Podu," got really popular in 2009. It has the fun dappangutthu street dance, and CSK IPL Team players even whistle in it. The team's jersey hasn't changed much since the beginning, and Seven has been making their kit since they came back in 2018.

Home Ground and Fan Base of CSK IPL Team

The CSK IPL Team plays their home games at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, also called "The Chepauk." This old and important place, with seats for 50,000 people, got a big makeover in 2010.

The team is really good at winning here, with a super 70.91% winning record. That's why people call it "Fortress Chepauk" and "Lions' den." In 2011, CSK was the first IPL Top Team, team to win every game at home in a season and also won the whole tournament at home. But because of some problems, they had to play in Ranchi in 2014 and Pune in 2018.

2024 Chennai Super Kings Team Controversies

Before September 2008, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) had rules saying that people in charge couldn't be involved in making money from matches. N. Srinivasan, who was kind of like the owner of Chennai Super Kings, broke this rule. People complained, but nothing happened. He even became the BCCI Secretary and later the President. In 2011, there were worries about the unfair IPL auction, and some said Srinivasan was involved, but he said it wasn't true.

In May 2013, Gurunath Meiyappan, Srinivasan's son-in-law and Super Kings' Team Principal was arrested for betting on IPL Cricket matches. Meiyappan had contacts with bookies through Vindu Dara Singh. Srinivasan temporarily stepped aside as BCCI President and a Supreme Court-appointed panel indicted Meiyappan for illegal betting in February 2014.

On March 25, 2014, the Supreme Court demanded Srinivasan's removal as BCCI President. On July 14, 2015, the RM Lodha Committee suspended Rajasthan Royals and CSK IPL Team owners from the IPL for two years. On February 24, 2016, the Supreme Court considered lifting the ban on the IPL Top Team, Chennai Super Kings.
