Former MI fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan made an interesting comment on the India versus Australia match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. India is currently playing the first match of its 2023 World Cup campaign against five champions Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Generally, Chennai is Home of the Chennai Super Kings team in the IPL, wearing the yellow jersey. The fan following of CSK is such that wherever they play, the stadium is yellow in colour, especially at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
However, today in the battle between the blue and the yellow team of India and Australia, the local fans are supporting the Indian team because it is the home of the Indian team as well. So fans have noticed that the MA Chidambaram Stadium is painted blue now instead of the typical yellow colour, which we see during the IPL.

Former New Zealand and Mumbai Indians fast bowler Mitchell McClenaghan observed the same as well. He saw tweet from Lisa Sthalekar on X where she mentioned how the spin bowlers were rattling the Australian cricket team in the spin-friendly conditions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, reacting to her tweet, McClenaghan wrote:
“On a positive note, Isn’t it great to see a blue crowd in Chennai”

This tweet has received a lot of attention from the IPL fans because Mitchell was an important part of the Mumbai Indians team. He also played many matches against the Chennai Super Kings and the rivalry between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings is also blue versus yellow in the IPL.
As far as the 2023 World Cup match between India and Australia is concerned, the Indian cricket team is currently dominating the proceedings of the match. Ravindra Jadeja, who plays for the yellow army in the IPL has been the star for the men in blue so far with a three-wicket haul in Chennai.
