Chennai fans throng Chepauk to #SaveCSK
Be it outside the MA Chidambaram Stadium, or from the top of the world, Chennai Super Kings fans were vocal in their desire to have the team's two-year suspension from the IPL removed
Even as the IPL top brass processes what could be the fallout of the Lodha Committee's decision to suspend the owners of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals for a period of two years, the supporters of Super Kings have already sprung into action, organising a #SaveCSK campaign at Chepauk, the team's home ground.
Hundreds of fans, including a group of school students, assembled outside the Pattabiram gate to sign a petition to the BCCI and the Supreme Court, asking for the team to be reinstated into the IPL next season.
"A lot of fans feel as it they are missing something without CSK. There is no IPL without CSK," Saravanan said.
With the action shifting to off the field, perhaps the early finish to the India A-Australia A match was fitting.
Some fans even got to the top of the man-made world to do their bit.
The crowd built up as the day progressed, with several fans pledging their support for Super Kings.
