Meaning of the verse featured in the video
“When the whole town is watching, he will stand in the field.
When the soldiers live with smiles, he will take all the wounds.
The fact that many elephants gathered to down you (him) is proof that you are (he is) a lion.
The bird, which doesn’t get satisfied with the sky, got its heart filled with happiness after witnessing the river.
The thirst of an ant is quenched by a dew drop on the leaf and not by the mighty ocean.
Silambarasan TR reacts

RCB vs CSK in IPL 2025
RCB and CSK are coming with contrasting fortunes ahead of the blockbuster clash on Saturday. RCB are at the top of the table and will be inching closer towards the playoffs with a win against CSK. On the other hand, CSK are out of the reckoning for the playoffs, after their loss to Punjab Kings on April 30 in Chennai. It was the fifth consecutive defeat at the MA Chidambaram Stadium for CSK. RCB was responsible for delivering CSK’s first defeat of the season on March 28 and the five-time champions haven’t recovered from that point.
CSK can disrupt RCB’s hopes of securing a top-two finish and they have done it once in the past as well. RCB met CSK after winning seven of their first 10 matches in IPL 2020. RCB lost the duel to CSK, lost the next three league matches and bowed out of the season by losing the eliminator to Sunrisers Hyderabad. RCB are looking more balanced this time and are primed to go the full distance.
