CSK boasts a storied IPL history with victories in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, and 2023, led by captain MS Dhoni and coached by Stephen Fleming. Despite a brief attempt to replace Dhoni in 2022, the team struggled, prompting his return. In 2023, Dhoni’s leadership propelled CSK to victory against Gujarat Titans in a rain-affected final.

Fleming, CSK’s coach, revealed a decade-long succession plan for Dhoni. In 2022, an attempt to replace Dhoni with Ravindra Jadeja failed, resulting in a challenging season. However, in 2023, Dhoni led the team to championship glory.

Fleming also discussed Daryl Mitchell as a potential replacement for Ben Stokes. Despite Mitchell downplaying the comparison, Fleming sees his potential as a perfect fit for the Chepauk playing environment.
