Suyash said fans used to go crazy when Dhoni came for batting. The 20-year-old recalled the time when their match was against Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He said that even though they played in their home ground, most of the fans in the stadium wore the CSK jersey because of Dhoni.

When Dhoni came it seemed as if God has come on earth. When he came, the crowd went crazy.
Suyash said during a podcast with Daily Dose of Cricket
Like our match in Eden was with CSK. That match was on our ground, but fans with blue jerseys were wearing CSK jerseys on top. And when Dhoni was dismissed, they removed the yellow jersey. Our ground used to look yellow.
