Ahmedabad: Chennai Super Kings is undoubtedly one of the most popular IPL franchises. They enjoy a massive fanbase – regardless of where they play and that is for obvious reasons. MS Dhoni is worshipped, literally! During the game against Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad, the stadium seemed to be in Chennai as it was all yellow. But it was a crying CSK fan, who stole the show. The fan was spotted crying when Shubman Gill hit a six. The cameras panned towards the kid and the moment was captured. The name of the kid is not known, but he has become an overnight social media sensation.
Here is the clip that is going viral:

At the time of filing the copy, the Titans are in a strong position at 220 for two in the final over. Gill hit a brilliant 104 off 55 balls, while Sai Sudarshan smashed his maiden IPL ton. Sudarshan perished for a breathtaking 103 off 51 balls.
Earlier, after winning the toss for just the second time in IPL 2024, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, “Looks a good wicket, to be honest. It’s been a chasing ground, so we will look to chase. Pretty much similar to Chennai. We didn’t like the red soil wicket much.”
“Pretty relaxed (after the Dharamsala win). You tend to lose many games in IPL, you got to back everyone and make sure everyone is in a good head space. We had injuries in between, but happy now.”
GT skipper Shubman Gill said veteran wicketkeeper-batter Wriddhiman Saha is out due to a niggle, so Matthew Wade comes into the playing eleven, while Joshua Little makes way for debutant pacer Kartik Tyagi due to team combination reasons.
“Would have bowled first as well, looks a good wicket. There’s a 1 percent chance of qualifying, so we are going to try hard for that. The mood is like any other match, we as a team believe in doing the best we can. Will be a good surface to bat on. Will score runs and try to restrict them.”
