CSK File Complaint to BCCI over Distasteful Songs and Remarks by DJ During IPL 2026 Away Match Against RCB: Reports

  • On April 5, Chennai Super Kings filed a formal complaint with the Board of Control for Cricket in India regarding the match-day environment at M Chinnaswamy Stadium during their game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
  • CSK objected to the playing of the track "Dosa, idli, sambar, chutney, chutney," which the franchise claims is "not in good taste." The song gained notoriety last year when Royal Challengers Bengaluru player Jitesh Sharma was recorded singing it.
  • Chennai Super Kings managing director Kasi Viswanathan cited "certain comments" made against players by the DJ, arguing that stadium entertainment should not "undermine the rivals."
  • A top BCCI official confirmed the governing council is investigating the complaint. The incident occurred amid the bitter "Southern Derby" rivalry, which saw fan altercations following the April 5 match.
  • The dispute highlights tensions between crowd engagement and professionalism in the Indian Premier League. The governing council's review will determine if stadium entertainment guidelines require stricter enforcement to prevent insults against opposing players.
