The Chepauk stadium has been the home stadium of the Chennai Super Kings in IPL since 2008. Furthermore, the stadium was last renovated prior to the 2011 ODI World Cup, and then subsequently, certain blocks were shut down due to lack of building approval. This is why, many international matches could not get staged at the venue.
The renovation will raise the interest among fans as they will get to witness their cricketing idols play from the new stands. To note, the Yellow Army is also set to play its home leg matches of IPL at the venue. This will be first time since 2019 that CSK will be playing in front of its home crowd.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium also known as the Chepauk Stadium has a seating capacity of 31,140 at present. However, after the renovation work is completed, the stadium will have the addition of another 5,306 seats.
Meanwhile, the four-time champions will be aiming to give a perfect farewell to its veteran MS Dhoni who is expected to make his last appearance in IPL this year. CSK will be looking to give him the fifth title win. In his 234 IPL appearances so far, Dhoni has scored 4978 runs with an average of 39.2. He has also led Chennai to the title four times in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021.
