Chennai Super kings returned to the IPL this year with all pomp and show. They had been in wilderness for two years and the fans could not wait to have them back.
Although it was expected that their popularity may take a dip but as absence makes the heart grow fonder, the ban actually worked in their favour. When CSK played their first home game in Chennai, the joy of the crowd knew no bounds.
However, following an unfortunate turn of events, the venue was shifted from Chennai. The home games of CSK were then held in Pune. Notwithstanding all this, the team performed well and stormed into the finals.
