Another fan compared CSK’s massive fanbase to famous global football clubs such as Manchester United and Barcelona, ​​as he said, “It’s not Barcelona or Manchester, it’s Chennai Super Kings.”

One supporter urged team officials to allow their players to travel on an open bus, saying, “We need an open bus tour.”

A user dubbed the Yellow Army as the “best fans” of the IPL.

The second most successful IPL team, CSK had a season to forget last year.

Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ravindra Jadeja ahead of the 2022 edition, but the all-rounder failed to deliver positive results. Hence, Dhoni was relegated to the role mid-season. The World Cup winning captain will continue to lead the team this year as well.

CSK roped in several global stars in the mini-auction ahead of IPL 2023. The franchise signed England Test captain Ben Stokes for an amount of Rs 16.25 crore. They also bought star New Zealand fast bowler Kyle Jamieson, who unfortunately won’t play in the event due to a back injury.

The fast bowling option will be announced soon after discussions with skipper Dhoni.

Chennai Super Kings will open their season against defending champions Gujarat Titans on March 31 in Chennai Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
