N. Srinivasan, former BCCI and ICC chief, has been appointed chairman of Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited (CSKCL).
Srinivasan's return comes after a period of restructuring within the CSK franchise, including a brief period away from the board following the sale of India Cements' cement business. He and his daughter, Rupa Gurunath, rejoined as directors earlier this year.
Srinivasan played a key role in establishing CSK as a dominant force in the IPL. His tenure as BCCI president was marked by controversy, including the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.
This appointment raises questions about the future of MS Dhoni, CSK's iconic captain, who is nearing the end of his IPL career. Fans are eager to see how the new management will handle Dhoni's potential farewell.
“The Season XVIII of the Indian Premier League commenced on 22nd March 2025, and the matches were played from March to June 2025. While your IPL Franchise Chennai Super Kings did not qualify for the Knockouts, we remain optimistic of a strong comeback and an improved performance in the upcoming seasons.”
