Dhoni's CSK at home in Lucknow
The New Indian Express Hubballi
|April 15, 2025
Sea of yellow throng stadium as Super Giants made to work hard; Chennai chase 167
IT has become a norm nowadays as no matter where they play and how they perform, Chennai Super Kings are tend to get the maximum support from the crowd. Monday was no different as there was a sea of yellow at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
And of course one MS Dhoni once again showed why he is considered one of the greatest crowd pullers in the country.
Among the 43,700 spectators in attendance at the stadium, more than 90 per cent were wearing No 7 jerseys and leaving no chance to cheer for CSK skipper Dhoni. Such vociferous were they in their support that Dhoni's counterpart from the home team, Rishabh Pant, has to say that they will ignore the crowd backing the visitors when asked about it after the toss.
Dhoni on the other hand thanked the supporters saying, "I am blessed. Wherever we go, we get this kind of support."
