While many fans have missed out on buying the tickets, which was limited to two for each user, even former CSK star spinner R Ashwin was unable to get tickets for the game. Ashwin took to social media to ask his former employers for help in getting tickets for his kids, who want to see the opening ceremony and the game.

"Unreal ticket demand for the #CSKvRCB #IPL2024 opener at Chepauk. My kids want to the see opening ceremony and the game. @ChennaiIPL pls help🥳" Ashwin posted on X.

Ashwin, meanwhile, will be in action for Rajasthan Royals in the upcoming IPL season. The inaugural champions will open their campaign against Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday (March 24).
