Just like common people is hardly bothered about what happens in the Parliament," the burly CSK offie said at the launch of a specially designed cricket app called CRICHQ launched at the New Zealand embassy here today.

CSK coach Stephen Fleming, Ashwin are part of this venture where the fans will get a chance to download the app on their android phones. It will have the cricketers posting their comments and updates for the fans and also a chance to interact with them.
