The custom-branded aircraft marks a significant milestone in the three-year partnership between Etihad Airways and Chennai Super Kings, established earlier this year. Etihad announced that the team will exclusively travel in this aircraft starting IPL 2025, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable travel experience for players throughout the tournament.
Ahead of IPL 2025, CSK made strategic moves in the mega auction, reacquiring key players like Ravichandran Ashwin and Sam Curran, while adding Afghanistan’s rising star Noor Ahmad to strengthen their spin arsenal. With a well-rounded squad, the franchise is gearing up to reclaim the championship.
Led by the legendary MS Dhoni, one of the most successful captains in IPL history with five titles under his belt, CSK fans are brimming with excitement and hope for another triumph this season following Dhoni’s confirmation of his participation in IPL 2025.
