From T20 World Cup 2007 to IPL 2023 triumph: Listing Captain Cool MS Dhoni's nine T20 trophies

The defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have not had a memorable run in IPL 2022. After end of their 12 games, they were out of the playoffs race. A lot has happened in the Yellow Army's camp this season. Losing a key player&nbsp;to injury prior to the season, the Chennai setup announced a change of leadership just two days before IPL 2022's opening game.

With MS Dhoni handing over the reins to Ravindra Jadeja, the team faltered under the all-rounder by winning only two games&nbsp;out of eight. Thus, he relinquished captaincy as Dhoni took over once again. While CSK couldn't progress ahead even after Dhoni's reappointment, things have continued to be off colours in the camp.

On Saturday (May 14), their Mr. Depenable middle-order batter Ambati Rayudu announced his IPL retirement. "I am happy to announce that this will be my last ipl. I have had a wonderful time playing it and being a part of 2 great teams for 13 years. Would love to sincerely thank Mumbai Indians and Csk for the wonderful journey," Rayudu had initially tweeted.

However, he soon deleted the tweet and the CSK CEO confirmed that Rayudu won't be retiring and will remain with the team in IPL 2023.

Now, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming reacted to the Rayudu retirement fiasco and said in a virtual presser after the team's seven-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans (GT), on Sunday (May 15), "It was not disappointing, it was probably a little bit of a storm in a teacup, to be honest. But, I think he was fine. It has not changed anything in the camp but it is a non-story."

For the unversed, this was not the first time that Rayudu announced his retirement. The veteran right-hander had announced&nbsp;that he is retiring from all forms of cricket in 2019 in the aftermath of&nbsp;a fallout with the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). However, he had&nbsp;later taken his decision&nbsp;back after several meetings with the HCA officials.

For CSK, they remain below-par with their 9th loss of the season coming after their reverse fixture versus table-toppers Gujarat. They now have registered most losses in a season and are also on the brink of finishing at the bottom of the points table.

IPL Face-off: Intense rivalry between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings bowling consultant Eric Simons has said that Aussie cricketers like Steve Smith and David Warner will remain in for isolation for six days post-arrival in the UAE for the Indian Premier League. These players will have to remain in isolation despite having spent time at the bio-secure bubble in the UK.&nbsp;

After the third and final ODI against England, Steve Smith, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood will join their respective IPL teams in the UAE.&nbsp;

“We are hearing - although it’s not confirmed yet - that they will also have to self-isolate in their rooms for six days and produce negative tests on the first, third and sixth days before they can join us,” Simons wrote in his column for ‘Manners on Cricket’ website.

“We had hoped that they could all move from their current bio-secure bubbles into ours but it seems likely that there will be no ‘leniency’, which is understandable. Apart from our brilliant Indian players, led by the ageless MS Dhoni, we do have Shane Watson, Faf du Plessis and Lungi Ngidi in full training so there’s no shortage of talent.”

The Australians will arrive in the UAE on September 17. According to Simons, the players in CSK will have to wear a smart health tracking device whenever they step out of hotel rooms.

“We were issued with tracking devices to be worn around our necks whenever we left our hotel rooms but our physiotherapist has been very creative in turning them into ‘watches’ so at least that doesn’t feel restrictive,” said the former South African coach.

CSK has reported 13 cases of coronavirus since they arrived in the UAE. These cases include two players.&nbsp;

Earlier, Chahar, along with 12 other members of the CSK had tested positive for coronavirus after reaching Dubai for this year's Premier League.&nbsp;

“Deepak Chahar has returned two negative tests for Covid 19 and is back in team bubble,” CSK CEO KS Viswanathan told PTI on Wednesday.

“Now as per BCCI protocol he will undergo a cardio vascular test which will be an indicator of his recovery. After that he will have another Covid Test and if he is negative he can join the training,” Viswanathan said. Deepak has completed 14 day isolation in a separate hotel.

Asked how many more days will it take for the seamer to comeback, Viswanathan said, “It depends on his recovery. I cant put a timeline but another four days minimum. But it’s not confirmed.”
