Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja had a special request for the CSK fans in Ahmedabad ahead of their IPL 2023 tournament opener against defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Narendra Modi stadium in Motera on March 31.
While a packed house is expected at the largest cricket stadium in the world, Ravindra Jadeja had a special message for the fans in Gujarat as he asked the CSK fans to come to the stadium in Ahmedabad and whistle podu for the yellow brigade.
“I would request the Gujarati CSK fans to come to the stadium and support us. Whistle Podu!,” said Jadeja in a video posted by CSK.
Expressing delight at playing an IPL match in a packed stadium for the first time post-Covid pandemic, Jadeja said: “Post Covid, this is the first season where we are getting an opportunity to play in front of a fully packed stadium. And that’s a great feeling. We recently played a Test match here against Australia and realized that the fans of Ahmedabad are quite passionate when it comes to their cricket. Especially, when they come out to support us, they completely change the atmosphere inside the stadium.”
“And it feels good to have a stadium where so many fans come and support their home team,” he added.
Jadeja, who hails from Saurashtra in Gujarat, said that he is delighted that Ahmedabad is home to the world’s largest stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium.
“It’s a matter of pride that we have the world’s largest stadium here in Ahmedabad. So I would like to request all Gujarati fans to come and support CSK,” he said.
