MS Dhoni regrets that CSK could not play home matches in Chennai

CSK Captain MS Dhoni feels saddened from the fact that CSK’s home matches were shifted from Chennai to Pune.

Chennai Super kings returned to the IPL this year with all pomp and show. They had been in wilderness for two years and the fans could not wait to have them back.

Although it was expected that their popularity may take a dip but as absence makes the heart grow fonder, the ban actually worked in their favour. When CSK played their first home game in Chennai, the joy of the crowd knew no bounds.

However, following an unfortunate turn of events, the venue was shifted from Chennai. The home games of CSK were then held in Pune. Notwithstanding all this, the team performed well and stormed into the finals.

In the pre-match press conference ahead of the Final between CSK and SRH at the Wankhede stadium Dhoni said: “The emotional aspect was more at the start of the tournament. Once the tournament starts you have to be more professional. I was saddened that we couldn’t play our home matches in Chennai but I was still happy that we played at least one match.”
