MS Dhoni-led Chennai is one of the most successful franchises in the Indian Premier League's history. The Men in Yellow are the only team in the competition to have made it to the playoffs off in all the editions of the cash-rich league that they have been a part of. However, the Yellow Army has found it tough to get going in the Dream11 IPL 2020.

Dream11 IPL 2020: MS Dhoni's Chennai in a similar situation like 2010

Chennai are currently languishing at the seventh spot on the Dream11 IPL points table, having won two and lost five out of the seven games they have played. The three-time Dream IPL champions have looked far from their best in the ongoing Dream11 IPL 2020. In fact, Chennai, who are renowned to make comebacks from improbable situations, have given away games to the opposition which were theirs to win.

Chennai haven't had much to relish in the Dream11 IPL 2020 so far. This is the second time that MS Dhoni's men have lost five of the first seven games in the league. The last time they did so was in 2010, the year when they went on to win their first IPL title. Chennai can very well take inspiration from the 2010 edition of the tournament when they were in a similar position but went on to make a grand comeback to clinch the coveted title.

The last time these two teams met in the Dream11 IPL 2020 was on October 2 when it was the Orange Army who emerged victorious by seven runs.
