Will history repeat for CSK in IPL 2022? When MS Dhoni’s men won the title after 4 straight defeats in 2010
India Today
IPL 2022, CSK vs SRH: Chennai Super Kings had gone to win the trophy the last time they lost 4 matches on the trot - in 2010. However, the defending champions have plenty of holes to fill if they are to think of making a comeback after a nightmarish start.
Chennai Super Kings are lacking the spark that propelled them to 4 Indian Premier League titles. The defending champions have gotten off to a nightmarish start, losing 4 matches on the bounce for only the 2nd time in their storied history in the IPL. For the first time, the 4-time champions have been winless after the first 4 matches of a season.
Chennai Super Kings, under their new captain Ravindra Jadeja, have looked listless so far and they were hammered by 8 wickets by SunRisers Hyderabad in Match 17 of IPL 2022. Incidentally, SRH were winless until they met CSK on Saturday at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

Time is running out for the Super Kings after a disastrous start and if early signs are anything to go by, there are plenty of holes to fill for new captain Jadeja and the former captain MS Dhoni, who is still a commanding presence in the side. However, all hopes are not lost for the Super Kings.
A look back at history throws up an interesting pattern. The last time Chennai Super Kings lost 4 matches on the trot was in 2010. The Men in Yellow had lost to Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals on the trot. However, CSK went on to win their maiden IPL title that year.
