NAVANEETH Krishnan is an assistant to a chartered accountant from Ooty, Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu. The farthest he has travelled in the Northern direction in his life until Friday was Bengaluru, which is around 270 kms from Nilgiris. For a family man, Navaneeth hasn't had the need to leave the state all through his adult life. Yet, here he was in front of the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday afternoon donning the Chennai Super Kings jersey for the 2023 IPL final.
He was holding a banner with MS Dhoni's picture. It read 'CSK might win or lose, I know it's just a cricket match. I am only here to feel the lion No. 7 roaring on the ground'. For him, the scorching sun didn't matter, nor did the fact that he had bunked his office for four days and had switched off the phone to avoid his boss' calls. "If you make a mistake at work, you'll probably get scolding, but that doesn't matter. It's okay to receive some if it is to watch MS Dhoni. I don't mind," laughs Navaneeth.
