A month after a stupendous comeback by Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League by winning the trophy for the fourth time, the IPL team will celebrate its victory here on November 20 in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin.
Stalin, who is an ardent fan of CSK and its captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will felicitate the members of the IPL team at a gala event organised by The India Cements, which owns the team. The Chief Minister is expected to “share the trophy” with Dhoni, who will be in the city for the first time after the team won the trophy for the fourth time on October 15.
The India Cements' vice-chairman and Managing Director N Srinivasan met Stalin at the Secretariat here on Tuesday and handed over an invitation for the event. After receiving the trophy following a ritual at the Lord Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati on October 18, Srinivasan had said Dhoni will “share the trophy” with Stalin.
At the event at Kalaivanar Arangam on Saturday, Stalin will meet Dhoni and other team members and felicitate them. Soon after CSK’s victory in the IPL last month, Stalin had taken to Twitter to congratulate the team.
"Fantabulous performance from @ChennaiIPL ! The kings have roared back. Congratulations to each and every #CSK player and fans across the globe on winning the #IPL trophy for the fourth time. Chennai is waiting #AnbuDEN for @msdhoni to celebrate this victory! #Yellove #IPLFinal,” Stalin tweeted.
