And it was all yellow! No, we are not talking about Coldplay’s song but a special train organised by Indian Premier League club Chennai Super Kings for its fans to make their presence felt in Pune where they take on Rajasthan Royals on Friday.
Due to a shift in venue from Chennai to Pune due to increasing dispute over the long-going Cauvery issue, CSK organised ‘Whistlepodu express’ for the Yellow Brigade on Thursday.
The decision for the venue shift was taken after shoes were hurled at Ravindra Jadeja, who was fielding at long-off and also Faf du Plessis, who was carrying water for the players.
The Yellow Brigade is all set to flock the Gahunje Stadium for their first match in Pune on Friday, April 20. Around a 1000 fans have boarded the Whistlepodu Express while CSK has also arranged for complimentary passes for the match as well as free food and accommodation.
Here is how the Chennai Central Station and the Whistlepodu Express looked on Thursday:
