IPL 2020: Mumbai Indians gains official fan club from rivals CSK's state Tamil Nadu

Former Indian captain Sachin Tendulkar’s popularity knows no bounds. His association with Mumbai Indians as their ex-skipper, player and now, as a mentor, continues to catapult the popularity of the franchise across all quarters of the cricketing fraternity. Moreover, Mumbai Indians quite recently gained an “official fan club” in the state of Tamil Nadu. While a Chennai-based T20 franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) is among the fiercest of rivals of Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL), it is interesting to know that Chennai as a city is a capital of Tamil Nadu itself.

Sachin Tendulkar Trends grand plans for August 13 and 14

The Sachin Tendulkar fan page is apparently also organising a social media trending event for August 13 and 14, to honour the 30th anniversary of the first international century ever scored by the ‘Master Blaster’. Sachin Tendulkar struck the first of his 100 international centuries on August 14, 1990 against England at Old Trafford, Manchester.

Mumbai Indians will head into the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the IPL 2020 season as the winners of the previous edition of the tournament. Interestingly, even in the IPL 2019, the Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians side defeated none other than CSK themselves in a nerve-wracking final.

While the schedule for IPL 2020 is yet to be announced, the tournament is likely to begin with a clash between Mumbai Indians and CSK, should the Governing Council decides to follow the same itinerary as planned for its originally-intended commencement date of March 29.
