Mahendra Singh Dhoni led Chennai Super Kings along with Rajasthan Royals were banned from IPL in 2016 for 2 years following the betting activities of their respective heads Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra. The decision was taken by a Supreme Court-appointed three-member committee headed by the former chief justice of India RM Lodha.
Since the ban, fans were missing their favourite teams badly and couldn’t enjoy the last two seasons of IPL completely. But the long wait is over now as the ban from CSK got lifted on Thursday.
The official Twitter handle of popular franchise updated their fans with the good news.
Super Morning, Lions! The wait is finally over. Time to rise and shine! #CSKReturns #whistlepodu
