IPL 2019 : Rajnikanth and MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings under the same roof and it got fans excited

Chennai Super Kings kick-started the Indian Premier League (IPL 2019) on a winning note at the opening game in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium which is also known as Chepauk stadium. Playing at home, Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his yellow jersey boys thrashed their opponents – Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru – with 7 wickets in hand. The Chennai bowling squad led by Harbhajan Singh bowled out the Challengers at only 70 runs.

The defending champions played at their home ground to crazy cheering fans after a year. In 2018, Dhoni and his team only played one match at Chepauk after which all their home games were moved to Pune due to political protests over the Cauvery water issue. Apart from CSK’s performance, it was superstar Rajinikanth’s presence in the stadium that got everyone excited. Yes, the actor was clicked during the game and was seen cheering for the men in yellow. Quite a few videos have already gone viral in which the superstar is seen getting a warm welcome from his fans in the jam-packed stadium. In fact, both Dhoni and Rajnikanth always receive a lot of love and respect from their respective fans and it was quite evident this time too.

For those unaware, CSK was banned from IPL for two years after its alleged involvement in the spot-fixing scandal was brought to light. Obviously, it was a huge setback for Dhoni, his team and everyone involved with them including the administration and the fans. Last year, they made a solid comeback and even ended up lifting the IPL trophy. On March 20, a documentary series titled Roar of The Lion was released on Hotstar. Narrated mostly by captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the five-part docu-series shows the dramatic comeback of CSK and the trial and tribulations that they faced on
