The season was the first time since the inaugural season of the tournament that Suresh Raina was not a member of the team as he was not picked in the mega auction. Midway through the season Ravindra Jadeja resigned as the team's captain, with MS Dhoni, the team's long-term captain, taking over. The change in captaincy slightly improved their form from 2 wins in 8 to an additional 2 wins in 6, although it was a little too late, and turned out to be CSK's lowest league position until 2025.[4][5]
