"He used to be our bowler, our umpire," he said. "Since the IPL has started, he has been following regularly. He sits enthusiastically and follows every game. He is a total cricket lover."

When asked if he would travel to Delhi to watch CSK play, Ramdas' response was emphatic. "I will walk and go," he declared. His desire to witness his favorite team in action is a testament to his unwavering spirit.

Ramdas' passion for cricket extends beyond the IPL. He is also eager to meet MS Dhoni, the legendary captain of CSK. "Whenever he (Dhoni) has time and when he calls, we should go," he said. "We should go according to his time."
