Five-time IPL champions CSK have reportedly taken serious note of what happened during their IPL 2026 match against RCB at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on April 5.
According to reports, the franchise has written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding music and comments played inside the stadium during the game.
This issue has now become one of the major talking points around the growing rivalry between CSK and RCB. While fans enjoy the intense competition between the two teams, CSK appear to believe that some things crossed the line during the Bengaluru clash.
What upset CSK?
As per a report by The Indian Express, CSK were unhappy with the use of the song Dosa, Idly, Sambar, Chutney during the match. The track by Gana Appu has often been used online in meme culture linked to South Indian stereotypes.
CSK reportedly felt that using such a song in the stadium during a high-profile IPL match was not in good taste. The franchise is also believed to have objected to certain comments and meme-style references made alongside the music.
Many people feel stadium DJs should create excitement, support the home side, and keep the crowd entertained. But they should not target the opposition or create an uncomfortable atmosphere. That seems to be the main point behind CSK’s complaint.
CSK management speaks out
CSK managing director Kasi Viswanathan confirmed that the franchise has raised the matter with the BCCI.
“The DJs are usually around to support the home team. But at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, it was different. Certain comments were made against our players. Considering it, we have written to the BCCI to have a look into it,” Viswanathan said.
His statement makes it clear that CSK are not upset just because the home team crowd backed RCB. Away teams expect that in the IPL. Instead, the issue appears to be with comments that were directed at CSK players.

An IPL official has reportedly confirmed that the complaint has been received. The governing council is expected to review the matter and decide if any further action is needed.
At this stage, there is no official punishment or ruling. The BCCI may simply study the situation, speak to the people involved, and remind franchises about matchday conduct.
Even if no action is taken, the complaint itself sends a message. CSK clearly want stronger standards when it comes to stadium announcements and DJ behaviour.
This is not the first time this song has been linked to the CSK-RCB rivalry. During the previous IPL season, RCB wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma had referred to the same track before a match in Chennai. Later, when Sharma was dismissed in that game, the DJ at Chepauk played the song back in response.
That moment created plenty of reactions among fans online. It also showed how quickly small incidents can become part of a larger rivalry. Following that episode, CSK reportedly introduced clearer internal guidelines. They wanted to make sure stadium DJs would avoid targeting opposition players or fans in future matches.
“After that incident, there hasn’t been any repeat of it. The DJ isn’t supposed to make any comment on the opposition players,” Viswanathan added. That comment suggests CSK now expect similar standards from every IPL venue.
CSK vs RCB has always been one of the biggest fixtures in the IPL. The match brings massive fan attention, social media debates, and strong emotions. But in recent seasons, the rivalry has become more heated off the field too. Crowd celebrations, memes, online trolling, and now stadium DJ controversies have added a different edge to the contest.
Passion is great for the league. It builds excitement and viewership. But teams also expect respect and professionalism. That is why this complaint matters.

Home support should always be loud and energetic, and fans should enjoy every wicket, boundary, and win. DJs can pump up the crowd and make the experience fun.
But mocking the opposition, using stereotype-based songs, or making comments against players is unnecessary. Cricket is competitive enough without that. If IPL teams want world-class standards, then matchday entertainment should also stay classy.
