CSK vs RCB Rivalry: Ruckus over ‘Dosa-Idli’ song, Chennai Super Kings made official complaint to BCCI

News India Live, Digital Desk: The rivalry between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in IPL 2026 has now moved out of the field and into the corridors of BCCI. CSK has expressed displeasure over the song ‘Dosa, Idli, Sambhar, Chutney’ and the comments of the DJ during the match played at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on 5 April 2026. What is the whole controversy? During the match, a viral track ‘Dosa, Idli, Sambhar, Chutney’ composed by musician Gaana Appu was played in the stadium. CSK believes that the song was used to promote South Indian stereotypes and mock their Tamil identity. The team management has taken strong objection not only to the song but also to the comments made by the DJ on the public address system (PA system) after the dismissal of CSK players. CSK’s stand and letter to BCCICSK Managing Director Kasi Vishwanathan clearly said on this matter that the job of the DJ is to boost the enthusiasm of the home team and not to insult the rival players. He told: “Usually DJs are there to support the home team, but the situation was different at Chinnaswamy Stadium. Some comments were made against our players, in view of which we have written a letter to BCCI to investigate the matter.” Root of controversy: Old history This controversy is not new. It started in the last season (2025) when RCB shared a video in which wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma was heard singing lines from the same song. In response, when Jitesh was out at Chepauk Stadium (Chennai), the DJ there also trolled him by playing the same song. However, the CSK management had then given strict instructions to its DJs not to make such comments against the opponents. BCCI and IPL Council’s reactionA top IPL official has confirmed that they have received an official complaint from CSK. According to reports, the IPL Governing Council is now investigating whether the code of conduct was violated during in-stadium entertainment. Talking about the on-field performance, RCB won the match by 43 runs. Batting first, Bengaluru had scored a huge score of 250/3, in response to which Chennai team could score only 207 runs. This was RCB’s fourth consecutive win over Chennai, which has further increased the bitterness of this ‘Southern Derby’.
