Ashish Nehra "Tactically One Of The Best Coaches In The IPL": Gary Kirsten

CSK Youngster Reveals How MS Dhoni Masterminded Two RR Batters' Dismissals In IPL 2022

Chennai Super Kings didn't have the best of outings in Indian Premier League 2022, finishing a lowly ninth. CSK won just four out of the 14 matches they played in IPL 2022, finishing with the same number of points (8) as bottom-placed Mumbai Indians, but a slightly better net run-rate. The Chennai franchise also had its problems in regards to captaincy. Just before the start of the tournament MS Dhoni gave up CSK's captaincy with Ravindra Jadeja taking over. But with CSK faring poorly in IPL 2022, Jadeja handed back the captaincy of the team to Dhoni mid-way. The merry-go-round surely didn't help the team, but with Dhoni back at the helm there was a momentary upsurge in the team's fortunes.

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 saw the rise of many emerging stars, while some reputed names could not meet the expectations.

The Mayank Agarwal-led side looked quite a strong team on paper after the mega-auction but ultimately finished sixth in the table with seven wins in 14 games. The skipper Mayank, who took over from KL Rahul, was also off-colour with his batting.
