The Chennai team were returning to their home ground after a gap of two years. People thronged the stadium to see the most popular team in the league back in action. However, the team didn’t receive the welcome they expected as shoes were hurled at the players inside the stadium.
There were widespread protests going against the hosting of the match in the state as it was struggling with the drought-like situation and could not afford to host matches. During the match, shoes were thrown at the ground which were picked by Faf Du Plessis and Ravindra Jadeja. The play was halted for a while but was resumed soon. Chennai went on to win the match chasing a target of 203 with one ball to spare.
