IPL 2019, Match 1, CSK vs RCB: 5 things to expect from the opener 

#3 Yellow wave will be a sight

Whistle Podu chants will reverberate across the stadium.

The Chennai crowd has been among the passionate audience of cricket from the time cricket has graced the city. The best example is surely the lap of the honour done by the Pakistan cricket team for their sportive behaviour in 1999.

Can anyone remember the last time when a stadium was jam-packed just to see their home team practice in nets? That is precisely what transpired when the CSK team came out to the Chepauk ground to do their routines before the start of their 2019 campaign. It was a surreal moment for any team, let alone for a franchise based side.

If the support and following for a team is like that, then imagine what will be the scene when they take on the field against Virat and his men on the very first day of the IPL 2019 in a cricket loving city like Chennai.
