Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is one of the best franchises in the cricket world. The team came into existence in the year 2008, and since then, they have been quite consistent in the Indian Premier League. Former Indian cricket team captain MS Dhoni has captained the team in all the seasons they have played. Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina also led CSK in a few matches, but Dhoni has taken all the important decisions.
Dhoni has the ability to bring the best out of every player in the squad. Even if a player, who was a member of the Indian team and then got dropped, joins Chennai Super Kings team, he often ends up performing well and regaining his place in the Indian squad.
In this listicle now, we will look at the four such players who made splendid comebacks to international cricket after doing a good job for Chennai team in IPL.
1. Ajinkya Rahane revived his career after joining CSK in IPL 2023
Ajinkya Rahane struggled to make an impact in IPL 2020, 2021 and 2022. He also lost his place in the Indian team. Many fans gave up on him, but MS Dhoni’s team gave him a chance. Rahane grabbed the opportunity with both hands and is back in the Indian Test team now.
2. Ashish Nehra revived his career after doing well for CSK
Former Indian fast bowler Ashish Nehra had lost his place in the Indian team due to multiple injuries and a decline in form. After he impressed for Chennai in 2014 and 2015, he played for India in 2016 T20 World Cup and retired on a grand note in 2017.
3. Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu moved from MI to CSK in 2018. He did not get a chance to play for Team India in 2017, but a solid performance as an opener for the Chennai Super Kings in their championship win of 2018 helped Rayudu regain his place in Team India.
4. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja made his debut in 2009 but was dropped due to inconsistent performances. He even missed the 2011 World Cup. In 2012, Chennai signed him, and in 2013, he won the Golden Ball in India’s ICC Champions Trophy win.
