1983-2011 Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 With uncertainty looming over the participation of the Sri Lankan players in Chennai, the IPL matches here might be shifted out of Tamil Nadu. Yet, according to some sources, the possibility of the IPL matches going on here as scheduled, without the Sri Lankan players, cannot be ruled out either. If the option — whether to play or not to play in Chennai — is put before the cricketers themselves, most of them are likely to opt out in any case. Chennai Super Kings is scheduled to play its first match, against Mumbai Indians at Chepauk on April 6. CSK has a prominent Sri Lankan player in paceman Nuwan Kulasekara while Mumbai Indians has the mercurial and often game-changing Lasith Malinga in its ranks. At least six teams are said to have requested the IPL governing council to have the matches moved out of Chennai since dropping key Sri Lankan players against a strong CSK side could adversely impact their chances. Apart from Kings XI Punjab, all teams have at least one Sri Lankan cricketer in their ranks. Mahela Jayawardene represents Delhi Daredevils and Kumar Sangakkara, Sunrisers Hyderabad. Tillakaratne Dilshan plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore while Angelo Mathews and Ajantha Mendis don Pune Warriors colours. The IPL general council will have to take a decision on the issue soon. http://www.thehindu.com/sport/cricket/ipl-matches-may-be-moved-out-of-chennai/article4541961.ece

BeautifulGame Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Cant see it happening. Too much revenue for Jaya to loose and Srini will arrange a compromise hopefully.Also now the voting has happened there shouldnt be any issue really.Already the propests have died down. But if they shifting venue CSK better refund the tickets.Have already booked tickets for 3 matches
Vilander Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 No problem with them I guess coz they are Tamil not Sinhala. Murali is Indian tamil, Angelo is srilankan tamil.
Vilander Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 This is TN we are talking about the land of encounters, what ever the party in power wants will happen. You can be rest assured that the matches will go on as if nothing happened if Srini uncle gives a good suit case to Jaya amma.
Mariyam Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I'd hate it if the match were shifted from the Chepauk to some other stadium. Would love to have MI trash CSK in their own backyard once again.
GautiMaan Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 But i dont expect protests to extend beyond the cyber world.Srini mama and the Sun group have too much invested in the ipl.
deathmonger Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Murali is Indian tamil' date=' Angelo is srilankan tamil.[/quote'] What is the difference? Weren't LTTE and all Sri Lankan tamil?
