The post caption reads: “POV: Vijay Shankar takes you for Training at Chepauk! 🦁 Watch #Micdup full video 🔗 In bio! #WhistlePodu #Yellove.”
The video showcases Vijay Shankar in his blue and yellow training kit, giving viewers an immersive experience of what training at the iconic Chepauk Stadium entails. This is part of CSK’s “Mic’d up” series, where players wear microphones during training sessions to give fans authentic, unfiltered access to their preparation routines.
The full video, available through the link in CSK’s Instagram bio, likely features Shankar’s training drills, interactions with teammates, and provides insight into the preparation methods of the four-time IPL champions.
Training at the Chepauk Stadium is significant for CSK and their fans. As their home ground, it’s where the franchise has built an incredible record over the years, turning it into a fortress. Fans affectionately refer to the stadium as “Anbuden” (the place of love in Tamil), reflecting the emotional connection between the team and its supporters.
The stadium’s atmosphere during CSK matches is legendary in IPL circles, with the famous “yellow army” of fans creating an electrifying environment. Training at this iconic venue carries special meaning for players, and through content like the Mic’d Up series, CSK allows fans to experience this special connection.
Vijay Shankar, who joined Chennai Super Kings recently, brings his all-rounder capabilities to the team. Known for his medium-pace bowling and solid middle-order batting, Shankar adds depth to CSK’s roster. His experience at the international level with India and his previous stints with other IPL franchises make him a valuable addition to the CSK setup.
This behind-the-scenes content is part of Chennai Super Kings’ broader strategy to engage fans through exclusive access to the team’s activities. The franchise has been consistently producing content like training sessions, player interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage to maintain fan connection beyond match days.
Just recently, CSK shared other engaging content on their Instagram, including a post about Ruturaj Gaikwad launching the Super Kings Academy in Puducherry, with admissions now open for aspiring cricketers. They also posted throwback content celebrating their team’s history, including “The Captain’s Knock” commemoration and a special post marking the 17th anniversary of when “we turned Chepauk into Anbuden, and it was all #Yellove!”
The Mic’d up series featuring Vijay Shankar provides fans with genuine insight into the preparation that goes into making Chennai Super Kings one of the most successful franchises in IPL history.
