The yellow army made a comeback in 2018 when they had suspended for two years along with Rajasthan Royals and won the final against Sunrisers Hyderabad. They did very well in the following season but unfortunately lost the finals against the Rohit-led Mumbai Indians franchise.

In the 13th season, they almost outplayed the opposition teams on many occasions due to their lack of consistency and form with the bat. Faf du Plessis was the only batsman who scored at an average of well above 40 including four fifties to his name.

Fans are eagerly waiting to see the comeback of MS Dhoni and his men as they going to play their first match against Delhi Capitals on 10th April at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
