He was upset after hearing this news and he has a heartfelt message for all CSK fans.
“Very sad for our team @ChennaiIPL and the fans here in Chennai that we won’t be playing any more games here this season. The atmosphere last game was incredible. Let’s hope this situation in Tamil Nadu has sorted out asap.”
