CSK returned to IPL after serving a two-year suspension due to the spot-fixing issue and played its first match in Chennai after May 2015.
Chennai Super Kings will come back on the ground after a long break of 4 days.
CSK will look to get back to winning ways after narrowly missing out in their last game. "CSK wishes to organise similarly for all its home games in Pune for fans from Chennai to travel and witness the matches in Pune subject to availability of trains", Kasi was quoted as saying by Sportskeeda.
In their last match against Kings XI Punjab, Ambati Rayudu (49) and MS Dhoni (79) brought the Super Kings close to the victory target of 198 before falling short by four runs.
Rajasthan began their IPL 2018 crusade on a poor note, pounded by Sunrisers Hyderabad by 9 wickets.

Later, Kolkata outclassed them by seven wickets.
On the other hand, two-time champions Chennai had a great start to their campaign with back-to-back wins against defending champions Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. Chennai Super Kings have managed to perform decently well even without Suresh Raina in their squad.
It was Dwayne Bravo's 30-ball 68 against Mumbai which helped Chennai register their first win and later, Sam Billings' 23-ball 56 guided them home against KKR in a high-scoring match. Spinners K Gowtham and Shreyas Gopal have also been used well by their skipper. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's yellow brigade will take on Ajinkya Rahane's Royals at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Friday. However, Chennai played a match less than Rahane and his men.
Saravanan Hari, a die-hard fan of M S Dhoni, known for painting his body during CSK's matches, who is also on board the train, said he was thrilled beyond words to be part of the supporters group to watch the game in Pune.
