4. In 2018, due to a political issue, a certain change was made which made it
difficult for the fans of that franchise to watch the match live. Hence, the
management had decided to make special arrangements for its fans as a
good gesture and introduced a X among other things like free tickets for one
match. Over a 1000 people were selected carefully giving preference to
those who have taken part in gatherings and events conducted by the fan
club and those who haven’t got a chance to watch a match live. Since A is
something that was introduced over a decade back and is now very
ubiquitous with the team, everyone started popularising it as AX.
