online battleground for all CSK supporters, where they will be guided through two
contests- Super Fan and Super Friends. The microsite has been designed and created
by Aircel’s digital agency Digitas Lbi.

competition more interesting, the live leaderboard on the microsite will give real
time update on how each of them is faring against their competitors.
