Heavy rainfall due to the cyclone has caused waterlogging in several areas across Chennai on Monday (December 4).

Chennai Super Kings team in action in IPL 2023.

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) star Maheesh Theekshana expressed his concerns on social media as Cyclone Michaung hit the shores of what he called his 'second home'. It is pertinent to note that heavy rainfall due to the cyclone has caused waterlogging in several areas across Chennai on Monday (December 4). While the storm is currently over Bay Of Bengal, it is now likely to drift towards Andhra Pradesh coast and is likely to make landfall between Nellore and Machilipatnam on Tuesday.


"Just watched some concerning footage from my second home, Chennai. Sending all my love and prayers to everyone affected. Stay strong, stay safe. We're in this together," Theekshana wrote on micro-blogging site X (formerly Twitter).
