MS Dhoni's side faced defeat against Matthew Hayden's ahead of TNPL opener

It was an absolute Chennai Superkings frenzy at Chepauk today as Matthew Hayden’s team took on MS Dhoni‘s team in six hitting contest, as the entire arena turned yellow to welcome the two Superkings. Chennai has been devoid of any IPL action after Chennai Superkings were banned from taking part in the league back in 2015

It had been ages since Chepauk saw its quintessential leader smack a few into the top tier of MA Chidambaram Stadium. The last piece of CSK action Chepauk witnessed was back on 10 May 2015. The six hitting competition also saw former CSK players Subramaniam Badrinath and Lakshmipathy Balaji back in action. Dhoni side faced defeat at the hands of Matthey Hayden side by 5-4.
