The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, affectionately known as Chepauk, became the setting for some light-hearted banter last night during the IPL 2025 encounter between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). As RCB’s Jitesh Sharma made his way back to the pavilion following a quick but fiery cameo, the stadium DJ took the opportunity to play a musical jab that had the crowd in stitches. The song? he viral ‘Dosa, Idly, Sambar, Chutney Chutney,’ a fun dig inspired by a pre-match controversy

The incident occurred during the 18th over of RCB’s innings. Sharma, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter, had struck 12 runs from just 6 balls, including a boundary and a six, helping RCB reach a commanding total of 196/7. However, his brief stay at the crease ended when he edged a slower ball from CSK’s Sam Curran straight to Ravindra Jadeja at deep mid-wicket. As Sharma made his way off the field, the Chepauk DJ cranked up the volume, blasting the now-infamous tune that reverberated through the stands, drawing a thunderous reaction from the CSK fans.

The trolling stemmed from a viral RCB video released days before the match, where Sharma exaggeratedly sang “Dosa, Idly, Sambar, Chutney Chutney” when asked about Chennai. Many CSK fans saw it as mocking South Indian culture, sparking tension. The DJ’s retort was a witty reminder that Chepauk doesn’t forget.

On the field, RCB dominated with Rajat Patidar’s 51 and Tim David’s three consecutive sixes, setting a formidable total. CSK’s chase stumbled early, with Josh Hazlewood taking 3/21 to dismantle their top order. Despite MS Dhoni’s 30*, CSK finished at 146/8, handing RCB a 50-run win— their first at Chepauk since 2008.

Post-match, social media buzzed with clips of the DJ’s antics, hailed as “peak rivalry.” One X user joked, “Jitesh sang it, and Chepauk made him dance to it!” Sharma remained silent on the incident, while his brief knock showed intent. It was a rare home defeat for CSK.
