Meanwhile, the uncertainty around the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 has hurt almost every stakeholder of the league but not the CSK. On the contrary, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, CSK is making hay in the grey market for unlisted shares.

CSK shares currently are being traded almost at 4 times the values it was in Jan 2019. Especially since the announcement that IPL 2020 will be taking place in the UAE and the government clearances, the shares are now trading in a price band of ₹54-58.

The Chennai-based franchises will be losing their part in the gate revenues and the title sponsorship share as VIVO has pulled out as IPL sponsor. But overall their bottom line will only get affected by not more than 5-10%.
