The former Australian batter, Michael Hussey, played for the Chennai Super Kings from 2008 to 2013. In 2014, Mumbai Indians picked Hussey for INR 5 crore at the auction. However, he returned to the CSK squad in 2015 at his base price of INR 1.5 crore and made his last appearance in the tournament that year. Hussey is the current batting coach of the four-time champions.

Michael Hussey had a successful career as a batter for Chennai Super Kings. He played in 50 games for the team, scoring 1768 runs at an average of 42.09 and a strike rate of 123.63. Hussey was the first player to score a century for Chennai Super Kings, which happened in the team's very first game of the tournament. At Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, Hussey scored 848 runs in 22 games at an average of 47.11 and a strike rate of 125.81, including seven half-centuries.

Michael Hussey holds the record for being the only player who has scored over 700 runs for Chennai Super Kings in a season. In the 2013 season of the Indian Premier League, he scored 733 runs in 17 innings at an impressive average of 52.35 and a strike rate of 129.5.

Hussey won the orange cap that season for being the leading run-scorer and became the second player in CSK's history to achieve this feat. Additionally, during his time with CSK, he won the Player of the Match award on ten occasions.
