As Chennai Super Kings returned to IPL 2018 after the two-year ban, not many expected CSK to reach the final given the team strength post the auction. But against all odds the men in yellow led by MS Dhoni, have not only made it to the final but are also said to be the favourites.

Warner, who had stepped down as SRH captain following his one-year ban after the ball-tampering episode in South Africa, tweeted his support to his teammates:
