Chennai Super Kings are arguably the most consistent side in the Indian Premier League (IPL). 12 seasons - 11 playoffs, nine finals and four titles. The only time they failed to make the playoffs was in 2022, and of course in 2016 and 2017 when they were serving a suspension. But the defending IPL champions now look like a shadow of their former selves. With two wins from eight matches so far, their IPL title defence has got off to the worse possible start.
