CSK Home Record at Chepauk

Despite such setbacks CSK have been one of the greatest teams to play at home in IPL history. The capability to harness the slow turning pitches and dominating spin attack has rendered them unbeatable. Having a superb win rate at Chepauk, CSK remain a dominating team, so these losses remain exceptions in an otherwise brilliant home record.
