Ravichandran Ashwin Jokes About Anshul Kamboj Lookalike at Tamil Nadu CM Vijay's Oath Ceremony

Ahead of Chennai Super Kings' crucial IPL 2026 match against Lucknow Super Giants at Chepauk, social media buzzed over an armed officer at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay's oath ceremony who resembled CSK pacer Anshul Kamboj. Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin humorously urged Kamboj to reach the stadium quickly, while CSK confirmed Kamboj was with the team preparing for the game. Kamboj has been a key domestic bowler for CSK this season, taking 17 wickets in 10 matches.
