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.

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> |

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 season of IPL. They had qualified for the 2008 CLT20, but the tournament was cancelled in the aftermath of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Pre-season player signings
The Super Kings bought English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff for $1.55 million at the 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.[1] Apart from Flintoff, the Chennai Super Kings also bought Murali Vijay, Thilan Thushara and 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 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 Ashes.[2]
