Incase you guys missed it, Cricinfo's preview on CSK, http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content/current/story/451140.html

Chennai Super Kings They are the IPL's 'nearly men', coming close to the summit in the first and second season, only to falter in the knock-out stages. However, Chennai Super Kings will begin the 2010 tournament on the back foot. Two key allrounders, Andrew Flintoff and Jacob Oram, are missing in action because of injury, though Oram may play later in the season. Two other overseas players, Muttiah Muralitharan and Makhaya Ntini, are on the wane and that puts a lot of pressure on the captain MS Dhoni. Flintoff's absence ought to have led to a big signing at the 2010 player auction but there were no major purchases. They bid aggressively for Kieron Pollard, Shane Bond and Kemar Roach, and also tried for Eoin Morgan, but lost all of them to other franchises. They ultimately settled for South African allrounder and ICL returnee Justin Kemp and Sri Lankan allrounder Thissaara Perera. With no apparent world-beaters in the bowling department, Chennai will bank on their batsmen to carry them through again. The buzz Unlike teams such as Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, Chennai's build-up has been relatively low profile and they prefer it that way. Last month, they announced a five-year deal with a merchandising company to reach out to the fans. In fact, the team has been rated as the "most valuable" in this year's IPL with a brand value of $48.4 million, according to a study conducted by the UK-based Brand Finance. On the cricketing front, the team began training on March 8, now with the arrival of coach Stephen Fleming. With South Zone out of the Deodhar Trophy, the local players will be available for the training camp. New faces Perera, a left-hand batsman who bowls nippy right-arm medium pace, recently won a match for Sri Lanka against India in a tri-series in Bangladesh. The IPL scouts were taking notes. Kemp and Albie Morkel will compete to fill the void left by Flintoff and Jacob Oram. Missing in action The high-profile Flintoff unfortunately hit his umpteenth injury crisis and will be out of competitive cricket till July. The team was further jolted by news that Oram will be out of action for a month due to a patella tendon tear. There's speculation that he too may miss the entire tournament. VB Chandrasekar, the team's director of cricketing operations, said contingency plans for Oram would be discussed in the coming days. Michael Hussey has Australia commitments till the end of this month, by which time the tournament's first fortnight would have ended. Watch out for If Hayden fails, there's always Dhoni to back Chennai up. The captain is in great touch. Re-run the tapes of India's recent home series to see why. Strength Undoubtedly the batting. Hayden, Suresh Raina and Dhoni were Chennai's top three run-getters last year, giving the team good starts. They will be a handful to contain on Indian pitches. Weaknesses The lower order hasn't been tested enough - the flipside of having a power-packed top order. Muralitharan has struggled for form with Sri Lanka but he will be expected to carry this attack. X Factor Ignored by his country due to recent indifferent form, fuelled by mass speculation of imminent retirement, Ntini will use this IPL as a platform to show that he still belongs. Unlike Matthew Hayden, his selection isn't guaranteed but Chennai will need his experience to shore up the bowling attack. Prediction for 2010 May find it difficult to make the final four

Good that the hype is less this time, not termed as favorites like the last 2 times So, less pressure upon themselves If one closely analyzes the squad, this is the best CSK squad by a mile (than the previous 2 editions) Hussey coming back after the initial stages would be a big boost. A fit and inform Freddie would have sealed the deal, but thats the way it is

Like Mumbai Indians this team depends too heavily on foreign contingents and have only 1 or 2 local faces to depend on.
