Chennai Super Kings (CSK), owned by India Cements Limited and one of the most consistent franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history, are currently third in the standings with 10 points.
N. Srinivasan, the managing director of India Cements, is the de facto owner of the team and has been since the IPL’s inception in 2008.
In the IPL 2024, the defending champions have dominated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Gujarat Titans (GT), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Mumbai Indians (MI), and most recently, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). However, their path wasn’t flawless. They stumbled against Delhi Capitals (DC) and SRH in an away game and suffered a double defeat against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
The Ruturaj Gaikwad-led team will next take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) tonight at home at 7:30 PM IST.
Being one of the consistent teams that make the playoffs quite often and having a cult-like following and crowd-puller Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the team, the Chennai-based team is a dream for advertisers.
CSK’s sponsorship portfolio consists of established global brands with prominent Indian companies, representing a range of industries.
