The team from Chennai may as well be called Consistent Super Kings for that is CSK's main calling card. The one side in the IPL with true cricketing pedigree with the original owners India Cements being a long-time contributor to Indian cricket, CSK have not just kept most of their core group of players, they have done so with the support staff too.

Former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming, who started as a CSK player before being appointed Head Coach, is one of the beneficiaries of the policy and is grateful for what it brings to the team.
