In what is being considered as a master move, four-time champions CSK have shifted their camp from Surat to Chennai for a tactical reason. The pitches of Surat’s Lalbhai Contractor Stadium, where Chennai have set up their camp, have been made from the same soil as it is in Maharashtra, where all IPL 2022 games will be held.

Besides Dhoni, Ambati Rayudu has also joined the CSK camp. The franchise showed faith in the veteran batter on the auction table, as they shelled out a whopping INR 6.75 crore for him. Referring to his banter-bromance with Dwayne Bravo, CSK uploaded an image of Rayudu with an image of the Caribbean all-rounder in the background.
