The Whistle Podu Army was among the most dependable fanbases in IPL history. When we look back at the club’s success throughout the years, one of the critical reasons for their fantastic steadiness has been the team culture, faith in players, and less chop and changes.
For the 2022 season, the IPL has set a limit of four players per franchise. Two additional franchises will join the IPL in 2022. (Ahmedabad and Lucknow.) Most of the players in a cash-rich competition, as in the IPL 2011, will be bought, resulting in another sensational auction.
CSK won the IPL 2021 by 27 runs against the Kolkata Knight Riders. It was their fourth title, and they were only one point away from the Mumbai Indians.
Batting squad: C Hari Nishaanth, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ambati Rayudu, Devon Conway, MS Dhoni, N Jagadeesan, Robin Uthappa & Subhranshu Senapati
All rounders: Bhagath Varma, Dwaine Pretorious, Dwayne Bravo, Mitchell Santner, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja & Shivam Dube.
Bowling Squad: Adam Milne, Chris Jordan, Deepak Chahar, KM Asif, Mukesh Chaudhary, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Simarjeet Singh, Tushar Deshpande, M Theekshana & Prashant Solanki
The IPL 2022 appears to be no different. CSK has re-invested in most of their former team. Their policy of pursuing tried-and-true players seems to have taken center stage. Although a few potential players could not be kept, they could replace them with terrific players, if not better than those available.

Ruturaj Gaikwad
Gaikwad was bought for Rs. 6 crores heading the auctions after winning the Orange Cap in 2021 with 635 runs. The Maharashtra batsman maintained his prodigious run-scoring in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, making 259 runs in five innings, including three fifties, and 603 runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, including four centuries in five matches.
MS Dhoni
After turning over the team’s reins to Ravindra Jadeja, Dhoni will focus on his form, which has been terrible over the previous two seasons. The 40-year-old batted just 314 times in 2020 and 2021, averaging 20.93 and striking out 112.54 times. His knowledge, experience, and abilities behind the plate will be critical to the team’s title defense.
Ravindra Jadeja
The newly chosen captain enters the IPL 2022 with a good vein of success that includes an undefeated 175 and nine wickets over Sri Lanka in the opening Test. In the T20I series against Sri Lanka, he made two match-winning cameos to commemorate his return from injury. In IPL 2021, Jadeja scored 227 runs at an average of 75.66 and took 13 wickets at 7.06 runs per over.
Uthappa, Robin
In IPL 2021, the 2014 Orange Cap holder made crucial contributions when it counted most, striking a match-winning 63 over Delhi Capitals in Qualifier 1 and a 15-ball 31 against KKR in the final to help CSK win its fourth title. It was a much-needed improvement in Uthappa’s statistics, as he was coming off a disastrous 2020 season with the Rajasthan Royals, averaging only 16.33 runs in 12 games.
