The context was given later to the reporter, that an altercation took place between the CSK fans and one RCB fan.

Our Take
The rivalries in the IPL have been quite common but these rivalries leading to a fan war is one which shall not happen. It remains to be seen whether the authorities in Chennai will be taking action on this matter or not. This matter still stands as a serious concern, and no rivalry, whether international or T20 League, shall have such consequences to the fans.
