Dream11 IPL: Chennai fans promise loyalty to MS Dhoni and co. despite team's poor showing

Three-time IPL champions Chennai were one of the favourites going into the Dream11 IPL 2020, but they have had an abysmal campaign so far. Chennai's misery was further compounded on Friday when their arch-rivals Mumbai hammered them by 10 wickets to hand them their eighth defeat of the season, thus putting an end to their chances of making it to the playoffs.

While some fans supported Chennai by tweeting about their past record in the tournament, some claimed that one bad season doesn't make Chennai a bad team. Let's take a look at a few reactions.
