Aren't we a cricket-mad country? Does any other sport come close when it comes to fans going nuts? Nopes.

Or so I thought, until I found myself in Kochi last evening, armed with a ticket to watch the #ISL opener between Kerala Blasters & East Bengal.

I was told the Kerala Blasters fandom is a mad one. But how mad can it even be, I thought.

What I was about to experience is crazy. Managed to get a car pass -- thankfully -- and waded through this chanting crowd.

I still don't quite understand in totality what #Manjappada exactly means. Loosely translated, it apparently refers to the "Yellow Army".

Wow... which team wouldn't like a fan base like this. It's difficult to describe what I saw.
