This is team which acquired the highest paid player of the Indian Premier League Mahender Singh Dhoni. He is made the captain of the team as there is no iconic player for this team.

Former India test player Kris Srikanth, Tamil Actor Vijay and Actress Nayana Tara are the brand ambassadors for this team.

Even this team has some great players in their list apart from Mahender Singh Dhoni. This list includes top players like Muralidharan, Mathew Hayden, Mike Hussey, Stephen Fleming and all-rounder like Albe Morkel, Jacob Oram… who performed well in the T20 World Cup. This team will also have players from Kerala and Railways.

The theme song of Chennai Super Kings, penned by Vairamuthu, is presently being composed by Mani Sharma and directed by Rajeev Menon.
Chennai Super Kings are one of the three franchises with no icon player. The lack of an icon player benefited the Super Kings during the bidding as they managed to bid successfully on two (Dhoni & Muralitharan) of the six A listed players.

The team plans to have twenty three players on its roster. Besides the list of players already acquired, the team will pick the remaining members from the three catchment areas - Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Railways - that have been allocated to it.
