Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the five-time champions of the Indian Premier League (IPL), recently announced a significant partnership with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, ahead of the IPL 2024 season. As part of the collaboration, CSK unveiled their new jersey featuring the logo of Etihad Airways on the back, providing fans with an exciting glimpse of the team’s attire for the upcoming tournament.
The unveiling event generated widespread excitement among fans, particularly as they caught a first look at the jersey adorned with the Etihad Airways logo. A viral video showcasing the back of CSK captain MS Dhoni’s jersey added to the anticipation surrounding the team’s preparations for the IPL 2024 campaign.
Amidst speculation about Dhoni’s future in cricket beyond the upcoming season, CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan emphasized that only Dhoni himself could provide clarity regarding his plans. Despite undergoing knee surgery earlier in the year, Dhoni is currently undergoing rehabilitation and is expected to regain match fitness well in advance of IPL 2024.
CSK’s proactive approach to bolstering their squad for the upcoming season was evident during the Players Auction in Dubai, where they secured six players, including New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell as their highest-priced acquisition at Rs 14 crore. The team’s strategic signings, including the surprise addition of uncapped Indian batter Sameer Rizvi and the re-signing of India all-rounder Shardul Thakur, underscore their determination to defend their IPL title.
As anticipation builds for the IPL 2024 season, CSK’s collaboration with Etihad Airways reflects the team’s commitment to forging impactful partnerships while maintaining their legacy of excellence in the tournament. With the unveiling of their new jersey and the reinforcement of their squad, CSK aims to embark on yet another successful campaign, igniting the fervor of fans worldwide.
