Chennai: Fans made their way back to cricket stadium after almost a year on Day 1 of the crucial second Test between India and England, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, in Chennai, on Saturday (February 13).
As the BCCI allowed 50 per cent of spectators at the stadium Virat Kohli & Co were received with a warm reception from the gallery. Former Indian cricketers VVS Laxman and Wasim Jaffer expressed their happiness while expecting them to make a massive difference in the ongoing second Test as India is trailing by 0-1 in the four-match series.
“Glad Fans are back in the stadium for the 2nd #IndvEng test in Chennai. They are the biggest stakeholders and an integral part of our sport and I expect them to make a massive difference. Good toss to win for India and hope they make it count by scoring big in the 1st innings,” Laxman tweeted.
