The [[Chennai Super Kings]] were one of the eight teams that took part in the [[2009 Indian Premier League]]. They were captained by Indian skipper [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]] for the second season in succession.

==Background==
Chennai Super Kings had finished as runners-up in the [[2008 Indian Premier League|2008 season of IPL]]. They had qualified for the [[2008 Champions League Twenty20|2008 CLT20]], but the tournament was cancelled in the aftermath of the [[2008 Mumbai attacks]].{{fact|date=July 2020}}

==Pre-season player signings==
The Super Kings bought English all-rounder [[Andrew Flintoff]] for $1.55 million at the [[List of 2009 Indian Premier League personnel changes#Auction|2009 auction]] making him the highest-paid IPL cricketer along with English teammate [[Kevin Pietersen]] who was bought for the same amount by [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]].<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/389466.html Flintoff and Pietersen most expensive buys]</ref> Apart from Flintoff, the Chennai Super Kings also bought [[Murali Vijay]], [[Thilan Thushara]] and [[George Bailey (cricketer, born 1982)|George Bailey]]. [[Stephen Fleming]], who had decided to retire from all forms of the game after the first season of the IPL, took over as the [[Coach (sport)|coach]] of the Super Kings team from [[Kepler Wessels]]. Their batting department was further weakened as [[Michael Hussey]] decided to skip the season in order to focus on international cricket ahead of the [[2009 Ashes series|Ashes]].<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/rsavaus2009/content/story/397941.html Worn down Hussey won't play in IPL]</ref>

==Indian Premier League==
The Chennai Super Kings were defeated in their first game of the tournament by the [[Mumbai Indians]] by 19 runs. Mumbai skipper [[Sachin Tendulkar]] scored an unbeaten half-century and fast bowler [[Lasith Malinga]] picked up 3/15 in 4 overs.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/400278.html |title=Tendulkar's experience sets up Mumbai's win | Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians, IPL, Cape Town Report | Cricket News |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo |date= |accessdate=21 April 2012}}</ref> The Super Kings defeated the [[Royal Challengers Bangalore]] in their next game by 92 runs, thanks to [[Matthew Hayden]]'s 65 (35). CSK, however, lost against the [[Delhi Daredevils]] by 9 runs at [[Durban]], where Delhi batsman [[AB de Villiers]] scored the first century of the season. Hayden, once again starred with the bat as he scored 57 off 27 balls in the same match. After an abandoned game against [[Kolkata Knight Riders]] at [[Cape Town]], CSK lost to the [[Deccan Chargers]] by 6 wickets, giving the latter their fourth consecutive win of the season. The Super Kings then returned to form by winning their next five games. Riding on [[Suresh Raina]]'s 98 (55), Chennai beat [[Rajasthan Royals]] by 38 runs at [[SuperSport Park]] in [[Centurion, Gauteng|Centurion]]. In the next match against the [[Delhi Daredevils]], left-arm spinner [[Shadab Jakati]] impressed with figures of 4/24 as he picked up the crucial wickets of [[David Warner (cricketer)|Warner]], [[Tillakaratne Dilshan|Dilshan]] and [[Dinesh Karthik]], giving his team an 18-run victory. At [[East London, Eastern Cape|East London]], the Super Kings beat [[Deccan Chargers]] by 78 runs, with skipper [[MS Dhoni]] scoring 58* and spinner Jakati taking 4/22 in 4 overs. They won their next game against [[Kings XI Punjab]] by 12 runs in an 18-overs-a-side match. CSK opener [[Matthew Hayden]] top-scored with 89 (58), a knock that overpowered half-centuries from KXIP's [[Yuvraj Singh]] and [[Simon Katich]]. With [[Subramaniam Badrinath]] scoring an unbeaten fifty, Chennai cruised to their fifth consecutive win, by beating [[Rajasthan Royals]] by 7 wickets. Their winning streak came to an end against the Royal Challengers in a low-scoring game at Durban where RCB won the match by two wickets with two balls to spare after Chennai were bundled out for 129 in the first innings. The Super Kings were able to beat the Mumbai Indians at [[Port Elizabeth]] by 7 wickets, thanks once again to Hayden who scored another half-century. Despite scoring 188/3 in 20 overs, the Super Kings went down on the last ball of the match to [[Kolkata Knight Riders]], who were helped by fifties from [[Brendon McCullum]] and [[Brad Hodge]]. In their last league match, the Chennai Super Kings successfully defended a score of 116/9 against Kings XI Punjab. This still remains the record for the lowest successfully defended total in the history of IPL. This win also ended Punjab's chances of reaching the semi-finals.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/405289.html |title=Chennai deal Punjab killer blow in low-scorer | Chennai Super Kings v Kings XI Punjab, IPL, Durban Report | Cricket News |publisher=ESPN Cricinfo |date= |accessdate=21 April 2012}}</ref>
