CSK will kick start their campaign against titleholders Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium on 29th March.
After Mumbai Indians, who have won four IPL trophies, CSK are the second most successful IPL team with three title wins.
As maintained by CSK Chief Executive Officer KS Viswanathan, MS Dhoni will commence his training at the MA Chidambaram Stadium and will be accompanied by some of his IPL teammates.

"The full camp will begin on 19 March when all the players would have joined the squad," he added.
