Back in 2008, Tamil actor Vijay was named the brand ambassador for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Vijay, who is also known as Thalapathy, was involved in promotions in Tamil Nadu for the team, which is currently owned by Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd. On the flip side, the talismanic cricketer MS Dhoni is still active as a player in the IPL and could even be retained by CSK as an uncapped player for IPL 2025.
