Above the CSK crest sit five stars, symbolising the franchise’s five Indian Premier League titles (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021 and 2023).

Meanwhile, CSK had a poor run in the last season. In 14 matches, CSK lost 10 and finished last in the IPL 2025 points table. Ahead of the 2026 season, CSK made some big changes in their squad for the upcoming season, with the most notable one being the trade of all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran for the wicketkeeper batter Sanju Samson.

CSK has also roped in youngsters like Prashant Veer and Karthik Sharma. Ruturaj Gaikwad will continue to lead the team as they aim for their sixth title. CSK will kick start their IPL preparation from Sunday. ]

About 15 players, all Indians, are expected to attend the preparatory camp that will be held at the franchise's high-performance centre in Chennai. India internationals like Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube, who are part of the Indian team and currently competing in the T20 World Cup, will join the camp after the completion of the marquee event. Shreyas Gopal, who was part of the Karnataka team that played in the just-concluded Ranji Trophy final, will also report later.
