Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is a franchise cricket team based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. They were one of ten teams to compete in the 2022 Indian Premier League. The Super Kings have previously lifted the IPL title four times (in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021) and were the defending champions in 2022.
The season was the first time since the inaugural season of the tournament that Suresh Raina was not a member of the team as he was not picked in the mega auction. Midway through the season Ravindra Jadeja resigned as the team's captain, with MS Dhoni, the team's long-term captain, taking over. The change in captaincy slightly improved their form from 2 wins in 8 to an additional 2 wins in 6, although it was a little too late, and turned out to be CSK's lowest league position until 2025.
