The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have officially complained to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding a DJ's choice of the song 'Dosa, Idli Sambhar Chutney' during their match against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 5. CSK claims the song, which is often associated with South Indian stereotypes, mocks their Tamil Nadu identity and was played in poor taste. CSK managing director Kasi Viswanathan stated that DJs should support the home team rather than make derogatory comments about opposition players. The controversy is rooted in a previous incident involving RCB player Jitesh Sharma, who faced backlash from CSK fans after singing the same song ahead of a match in Chennai. The ongoing rivalry has intensified, with RCB winning four consecutive matches, including a recent 43-run victory over CSK. CSK's management also expressed concern over DJ comments that crossed the line, emphasizing the role of DJs should be to enhance the match atmosphere.
