After a disappointing performance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) brought in a few new names to strengthen the team as they look to return in style in the upcoming season of the marquee tournament. CSK made seven new changes to their team since last season. While he signed Robin Uthappa from Rajasthan Royals, he bought Moin Ali, Krishnappa Gowtham, Cheteshwar Pujara, C Hari Nishant, Harishankar Reddy and K Bhagat Verma in the mini-auction before IPL 2021.
On Wednesday, CSK shared the photos of captain MS Dhoni welcoming new jerseys and handing him his jersey.
“Putting our paws together in welcoming freshers to #SuperFam!” CSK captioned the post.
Dhoni is also accompanied by head coach Stephen Fleming, as he assigns jerseys to the new members of the team.
Gautam, who became the most expensive uncapped Indian in the history of IPL when CSK bought him for Rs 9.25 crore, Jersey no. 79, while Cheteshwar Pujara, returning to the IPL for the first time since 2014, received a no. 25.
Robin Uthappa will wear 77 on his jersey.
CSK was the first team out of contention for a qualifying spot in the IPL 2020 and ultimately finished seventh.
They will try to set each other up as an anomaly last year and win their fourth title.

CSK will begin its campaign against the Delhi Capitals on April 10 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
