All the home matches of Chennai Super King in IPL 2018 have been moved to Pune, according to reports.
Earlier, news agency PTI had reported that Rajkot, Trivandrum, Pune and Vizag as being in the fray to host CSK home matches.
BCCI had short-listed four cities to host Chennai Super King's home matches after the IPL franchise was told to consider shifting base due to the Cauvery water dispute, which has created a volatile political situation in the state, PTI quoted CoA chief Vinod Rai as saying. Massive protests were witnessed yesterday ahead of the match between CSK and Kolkata Knight Riders and an identified protestor flung a shoe at CSK's Ravindra Jadeja during the match.
Committee of Administrator (CoA) Vinod Rai confirmed that the prevailing situation has forced them to explore options.
"We are thinking on the lines of shifting the IPL matches from Chennai. There are four alternative venues that BCCI has kept ready. They are Visakhapatnam, Trivandrum, Pune and Rajkot. CSK can play their matches at these venues," Rai told PTI
