The IPL 2021 will run from April 9 to May 30 across six venues and on Saturday Twitter launched the jersey emojis for the teams. However, mistakenly CSK's jersey appeared with RCB's hashtag. RCB reacted to the mistake, writing, "Hey @Twitter @TwitterIndia, looks like you need better tech engineers. Bengaluru is the right place to start hiring. #WhatsWithYourEmojis."

CSK also stepped up and joined the conversation when a user wrote, "Leo @ChennaiIPL, are we lending our new jersey to @RCBTweets??". They replied saying, "Ok. We understand #Yellove is everywhere but.. hey @Twitter!" [sic]

CSK in IPL 2021

The MS Dhoni-led side will kickstart their campaign against last year's runners-up Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on April 10. Meanwhile, CSK will be hoping to go all the way in the 2021 season. The 'Yellow Army' had a forgettable outing in the previous edition as they were the first team to be eliminated from the competition and at the same time, it was also the first time that the Chennai-based franchise did not make it to the playoffs of the marquee tournament since its inception in 2008.
