Staunch fans of the Indian cricket team, who were biding their time to get an opportunity to book tickets for the imminent first Test match of the ongoing Sri Lanka’s tour of India, are brimming with excitement after the online ticket window opened this afternoon.
In addition to the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium hosting a Test match after more than half-a-decade, it is a historic occasion because former India captain Virat Kohli will become only the 12th Indian cricketer to play 100 Test matches. Furthermore, Rohit Sharma, who has replaced Kohli in the leadership role, will be leading India for the first time in Test cricket.
The prospect of such an iconic match being played behind closed doors was so shattering that even Sri Lanka Test captain Dimuth Karunaratne expressed disappointment on social media platform Twitter.
It was only last night that BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) and PCA confirmed a U-turn on their previous stance of playing the match in an empty stadium. The sudden development was welcomed wholeheartedly by fans who were keen to watch the match from inside the stadium.
After waiting patiently since morning, finally booked my tickets for @imVkohli’s 100th test match and @ImRo45’s 1st test match as captain. Can’t wait to watch both my favourites in action in the milestone #Mohali Test! #ViratKohli #MohaliTest #INDvsSL #TestCricket pic.twitter.com/8rP5OWpRgM
