Exiled from Chennai after protests on the Cauvery waters issue, Chennai sponsors have taken a few hundred of their die-hard fans to their new home Pune for today's match against Rajasthan.

A special train carrying the "Yellow Army" fans with CSK banners left Chennai Central station yesterday morning. The sponsors of the team will be bearing all the expenses towards their travel, boarding and lodging in Pune. The special train alone cost Rs 23 lakh, informed sources said.

All the IPL matches from Chennai, the home base of CSK, were shifted out of Chennai following street violence against the matches being held in the midst of raging protests in the state over the Cauvery water issue. The CSK then opted for its new home Pune.
