Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who have been the most consistent side in the Indian Premier League (IPL) will once again go into the thirteenth edition of the tournament as one of the hot favourites to win the title.

Despite the pulling out of two of their star campaigners in Suresh Raina and Harbhajan Singh, CSK believe that they have the arsenal and depth in their squad to win a record equaling fourth IPL title.

CSK who stepped up the intensity of their training post a delay due to thirteen of their members contracting the Covid-19 infection have been mixing up a bit of fun between their rigorous training schedules to keep themselves relaxed ahead of the tournament opener against Mumbai Indians.

The 'Yellow Brigade' was lately part of a unique photo shoot where most of their stalwarts were sitting at a distance with their masks to adhere to social distancing norms while getting themselves clicked.

CSK all-rounder Shane Watson who was part of the team's photo shoot took to social media to troll skipper MS Dhoni and his other team-members as he shared a pic where several CSK players were busy with their mobile phones.

"Great chat boys," Watson tweeted an image which featured Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Lungi Ngidi and Watson himself.


3-time IPL champs will lock horns with Mumbai Indians in a high octane opening encounter of the IPL 13 at Abu Dhabi on September. The clash will be a repeat of the 2019 final between the arch rivals where Mumbai Indians defeated CSK in a pulsating final at Hyderabad.
