Chennai Super Kings had won the IPL season twice.It was in 2015, that Justice Lodha Committee imposed two years ban on Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for IPL match fixing. The Committee also denied Mr.Gurunath Meyyappan, the co-owner of the Chennai Team from associating with BCCI for a lifetime.The Court had held Meyyappan, also the son-in-law to Mr.Shrinivasan guilty in the 2013 match fixing case.
