Wrong. Did you even watch the previous editions of IPL? CSK did lose horribly and ended up on the bottom of the table several times, but most fans still supported him because no one is perfect.
In one or two seasons, they might have performed badly, but that doesn't take away the fact that they have been one of the most successful teams in the history of the IPL. Now compare this to a team like Royal Challengers Bangalore, who have never won the IPL till date. Their fans need to be appreciated, right?
Chennai Super Kings has maintained good reputation since the start of the IPL. They should be commended at every level, starting with good performances in the team and being finalists. Back-to-back wins in 2010 and 2011 greatly increased fans' attraction to their team. Moreover, no one can not get anything negative about the performance of the finalist teams of 2018, 2021 and 2023. But one should never expect Chennai to do well consistently in the IPL. Because cricket does not always have form. But comparatively this team has been doing consistently well since the beginning and is expected to do better in the next sessions.
