The Chennai Super Kings have launched its third academy in Hosur. The academy has eight pitches and includes turf for practice and a turf-wicket ground for matches. Previously the Super Kings franchise set up centre in Chennai and Salem.
The centre in Hosur was inaugurated by CSK captain MS Dhoni. The facility itself has been set up at the MS Dhoni global school in Bengaluru. The Hosur facility will be functional from January 2023 and the former Indian captain himself was present to cut the ribbons alongside CEO Kasi Viswanathan.
Speaking at the launch, M Dhoni said, “Whenever I go to any school, it’s like a time machine…I straight away go back to the time I spent at my school. I always believe it’s one of the best times you can have. But what is also important is that school is the period where your character develops.

He added, “It’s the small characteristics that you want to make them strong…simple things such as…you want to be punctual…you want to be disciplined…you want to respect the elders and teachers…you want to keep learning every day. Always felt school was the period where once you have a strong character, it stays with you for a very long time and it actually defines you. Make the most of the time that you have right now. Make the most of all the infrastructure that is around you.”

CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said was excited in moving forward with Dhoni in this venture and hope that this partnership can inspire future generations.
“We are excited about this new journey. When we launched the Super Kings Academy in two centres in April this year, we wanted to spread our wings to other parts of the state and country as well. Glad that we now have a centre here in Hosur. The presence of our charismatic skipper Dhoni will definitely inspire each and every one here,”CSKCL CEO K.S. Viswanathan said.
“We have always wanted to give back to the sport and this is a great opportunity for us to share our experience and nurture the future generation of cricketers. We will also be relaunching Junior Super Kings this year. Initiatives like Super Kings Academy and Junior Super Kings will help discover more talents across Tamil Nadu,” he added.
