2018 Indian Premier League(IPL)Season 11 April 07- May 27,2018 - 'Whistle Podu Express' Full Of Chennai Fans Reaches Pune For IPL Match






CSK Charter train to Pune for fans


A sea of people in yellow t-shirts moved about a platform at Chennai Central station on Thursday April 19,2018.





Sporting big smiles and waving yellow banners, many of them, mostly youngsters, gave the victory sign before they disappeared inside the coaches of the Whistle Podu Express.

The passengers, all of them fans of the Chennai Super Kings or CSK, left for Pune on Thursday. They will reach their destination at 10:30 am today.


The hashtag #WhistlePoduExpress created a flutter among CSK and cricket fans on Twitter as the cheering, noisy group of over 1,000 people chugged toward Pune, where CSK will play against Rajasthan Royals or RR at the Maharashtra Cricket Association International Stadium.

"Whistle podu" or "blow the whistle" is the official war cry of the Chennai Super Kings.

Some 20 buses will take the CSK fans to the stadium from the railway station in Pune.

The CSK management organised the fans-only special train to boost the morale of their fans who felt dejected after the team decided to play its home games in Pune, following protests against the Indian Premier League or IPL over the Cauvery management board issue.
