Chennai Super Kings have made a comeback in theIPL after a two years ban due to spot-fixing issues. But the comeback has not been an easy ride as first of all the team is missing some star players due to injury. Mostly the team has been moved out of Chepauk stadium in Chennai due to political unrest in the state. The Cauvery issue has made the team management and state government take such step for security concern. Though fans and many veterans are unhappy about politics getting into cricket. But from today CSK will be playing their home games in MCA Stadium, Pune.
CSK enjoys a huge fanbase who are called Yellow Army. But no worries as the franchise has taken a step in concern for the fans. A train named Whistle Podu Express is arranged that will board all yellow Army from Chennai To Pune on match day. Around 1000 fans have reportedly boarded the train.
The official twitter account of Chennai Super Kings has also posted the news for all Chennai supporters.
