It would not be an exaggerated statement to say that Indians are passionate about two Cs- Cricket and Cinema.

They are almost like two religions which unite the people across the length and breath of the nation and cricket, especially, brings out the patriotic flavor from people. Hence it is only the right move on the part of the organizers to have chosen Vijay and Nayanthara as the star ambassadors of the Chennai Super Kings, the India Cements owned Indian Premier League.

Vijay was formally introduced at a function organized in Chennai on Tuesday which was attended by ace cricketer and former Indian captain K.Srikkanth along with other dignitaries. While speaking at the event Vijay said, “I have always been interested in cricket and follow the game closely. My interest is doubled now especially with my son taking a keen interest in the game”. Further on Vijay said that as he is a resident of Chennai all along and his friends, family members being avid cricket fans, he would like to cheer and support the city’s cricket team. He was also very proud that Dhoni is leading Chennai team and is confidant about his leadership skills which is sure to steer the team to victory.

Nayanthara was not present at the function as she was busy shooting elsewhere.
