Chennai Super Kings failed to operate as a team in the previous edition of the IPL. They ended up finishing ninth on the table with four wins and suffered 10 defeats in the league stage.

As a result, they failed to qualify for the IPL 2022 playoffs. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans had a breakthrough season in their debut season as they won the maiden IPL title by beating Rajasthan Royals in the final.
