When IPL is in the process, it puts a spanner in the wheels of the daily chores of teams and players’ fans across the world. But it is different with the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who are the defending champions of the mega-league.

With a more than impressive performance so far with 3 wins of their 3 outings, Yellow Jersey are enjoying an edge over the other teams on the micro-blogging site Twitter as well.

The hashtags #WhistlePodu and #yellove are hot property on the pages and accounts of the team and fans alike.

The CSK have, in fact, redefined the nature of the game as they take it to Twitter as their wins and individual performances are being felt on the platform.

Chennai fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate their team’s exciting start to the season, making it the most talked about outfit in the first week of the IPL.
