After his side's 63-run win over Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) opener Rachin Ravindra showered praise on the fans of the yellow brigade saying they were 'amazing'.
In a video shared on the official social media handle of the CSK, Ravindra said the CSK fans were loud on Tuesday when they faced the Gujarat-based franchise. The Kiwi allrounder added that it was a "special feeling" when the home crowd was chanting his name. "I am not sure I am quite a favourite just yet, but, yeah, I mean, the Chennai fans are amazing. Like, I sort of mentioned last time how loud it was and they didn't disappoint again today. And I guess it's always a great, special feeling when you have got fans sharing your name and I mean, I am very grateful that to happen and it's just shows a love and support the CSK fans have for the players. So very, very thankful and hope it keeps on coming," Ravindra said. "Rachin nation! Here's some Yellove back," CSK wrote while sharing the video. https://x.com/ChennaiIPL/status/1772923503634706800?s=20 GT put CSK into bat first after winning the toss.
