In a delightful piece of news for devoted CSK fans, the five-time IPL champions and one of the most celebrated franchises of the tournament, has completed 10 million followers on X. With this remarkable feat, they have also become the first IPL team to get this number of followers on X.
Notably, CSK under the captaincy of former legendary Indian skipper MS Dhoni, won their fifth IPL title in the 2023 edition. The men in yellow defeated the IPL 2022 champions Gujarat Titans in the final of the tournament. By winning the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League, CSK also joined Mumbai Indians to jointly become the most successful team of the tournament with 5 titles each.
Apart from this, CSK was also banned from the tournament for two seasons, alongside Rajasthan Royals after the actions were taken in the infamous IPL 2013 spot-fixing probe. Following that, Dhoni’s men made a stunning comeback in the tournament and have won three titles since their comeback after the ban.
MS Dhoni reported to lead CSK in IPL 2024
Talking about skipper MS Dhoni, there were a lot of speculations that IPL 2023 might have been his last appearance in the tournament. But Dhoni himself hasn’t cleared anything regarding the same and he underwent a knee surgery after the conclusion of IPL 2023, to make himself available for the next edition of the tournament in 2024.
So, there are a few reports and assumptions, which suggest that the 42-year-old could be in action with the Super Kings in IPL 2024. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan also discussed Dhoni’s injury a couple of weeks ago in an interview with ESPNcricinfo.
"We knew it was a struggle for him to play, but his commitment to the team, his leadership, and how the team benefits everyone knows. From that perspective, you have to appreciate him,” said Viswanathan to ESPNcricinfo.
Coming back to CSK’s massive fan following over social media and completing 10 million followers on X, it also garnered a lot of praising reactions and remarks from the fans on the same social media platform.
Here’s how fans reacted:
