IPL 2018: You can be either a heart patient or a Chennai Superkings fan but can't be both

#2 Love of the fans at every venue

The fans have been in full support for CSK in each game

Chennai Super Kings’ love for their fans is not hidden from anyone of us. They are definitely the team with one of the biggest fanbases in the Indian Premier League.

Both, the fans and the franchise accept the mutual amount of love from each other. Whilst the team management never leaves a chance to bring a smile on their fans’ faces, the fans also treat the team as a family. They find their Thala in Dhoni, Chinna Thala in Raina and a champion in Bravo.

The two years’ ban was really painful for all the Yellow Army fans. But the fans were again full of enthusiasm and exhilaration as their Whistle Podus were back again in IPL 11.

Dhoni had mentioned earlier this year that CSK's "biggest strength" was the fans and that even when they didn't feature in the IPL for two years their fan base increased.

CSK played their first match at the Wankhede and received a phenomenal response from the fans. The second match was played at the Super Kings’ home ground, Chepauk! Does this needs any further introductions?

As Expected, the whole stadium was flooded with people wearing yellow outfits. Chennai won the match and gave a propitious start to their home games.

But due to the Cauvery Water Dispute, CSK lost their rights to host their home matches at Chepauk! This was heartbreaking for the fans.

They were all exasperated. And why wouldn't they? The dream of watching the Yellow Army live for seven games was short lived.

The wait that they did for 1065 days was useless. The games were now shifted to Pune. But the tables turned as the CSK owners’ had some other plans.

The bonding between the two - Fans and the team management - grew even stronger. They didn’t disappoint their fans as they arranged a train named “WHISTLEPODU EXPRESS” from Chennai to Pune for as many as 1000 CSK fans and that too free of cost.

The fans in return gave the team; a wonderful support at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore was the Super Kings were facing the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
