MS Dhoni & CSK were badly criticised after mega auction. “Remove the player from the franchise or Remove the word “Chennai” from your franchise name. If you feel this boy is more important for you than the emotions of Tamils, you don’t need to represent Chennai in IPL. @ChennaiIPL #Boycott_ChennaiSuperKings,” one of the fans tweeted.

Why do fans wanted to boycott CSK? – There is a long-standing tension between Tamilians and Sinhalese and in the past, there had been protests over including Muttiah Muralitharan in the squad. This time, it is over Maheesh Theekshana, who is of Sinhalese descent. The Sri Lankan off-spinner was picked up by CSK for Rs 70 lakh in Sunday’s auction. Theekshana is a corporal in the Sri Lankan army.
During Sri Lanka’s civil war that lasted for 26 years, Sinhalese soldiers were accused of war crimes against Sri Lankan Tamilians that led to the formation of LTTE (pro-Tamil organisation) which has been dubbed as a terrorist organisation by the government of India and the United Nations.
Sinhalese soldiers are accused of having committed war crimes against Tamilians in Sri Lanka during the military action against LTTE in 2009.
