IPL 2023: CSK's Ajinkya Rahane shares special message for yellow army ahead of match with KKR

Chennai: Chennai Super Kings batter Ajinkya Rahane has shared a special message for the yellow army before the match against Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League.

CSK posted a video on Twitter where Rahane thanked Chennai fans for always supporting their team. "Thank you so much for the support, not only in Chennai but outside Chennai as well. It is really special, we get motivation from you, and we will try to do something special for you," Rahane said in the video posted by CSK.

CSK will clash with KKR in Chennai home conditions to boost their chances for the IPL Playoffs. On the other hand, KKR has a do-or-die match as losing this game would tarnish their hopes to qualify in the playoffs.
