Chennai Central station witnessed a celebration of sorts on Thursday as hundreds of cheering fans boarded the Whistle Podu Express, a fans-only special train to Pune. A sea of yellow jerseys took over platform number 2, dancing and waving Chennai Super Kings banners and whistling their way to the train.

The special train was organised by the CSK management board to cheer up their fans who were dejected after the team decided to host its home games in Pune following the protests against the Indian Premier League during the Cauvery Management Board issue.

"After the team's home games were shifted to Pune, fans were really upset. So we requested the CSK management board to give us discounted train or flight tickets to go watch the game or even reimburse tickets for the matches shifted out of the city. We suggested they get us one or two coaches to take fans to Pune. But the board went one step ahead and sponsored an entire train for us," said Prabu, a member of the CSK fan club who initiated the idea.
