The 2022 IPL mega auction has just concluded with 10 franchises spending lavishly Rs 551.7 crore on 204 players, including 67 overseas, over two days. However, fans are not happy with the Chennai Super Kings for buying a particular player.

The CSK who has come under the fire for not buying Suresh Raina, is now facing the ire of social media for buying Sri Lankan spin sensation Maheesh Theekshana who is also called 'new Ajantha Mendis'.

Fans are unhappy with the MS Dhoni team for buying Maheesh Theekshana who is also part of the Sir Lankan army. Twitter users are criticising the 'Men In Yellow' for buying a 'Sinhala' player whose army were involved in the massacre of the Tamils and trending # Boycott_ChennaiSuperKings.

Fans also outlined that former chief minister of Tamil Nadu Jayalalithaa had banned Lankan players from Chennai IPL to avert offending Tamil sentiments.

One fan wrote, “Don't try to normalise Tamil Genocide in Sri Lanka. Remove this Sinhalese player from CSK team.”

Another fan wrote, “Pakistanis are banned from IPL cause they are (north) India’s enemies”. but Tamil’s enemies the SL state uses these sports to whitewash its crimes in international stage, and idiots don’t care! Now taking in a player even inside CSK! While no Tamils”
