Virat Kohli’s double century, Ruturaj Gaikwad’s maiden century and two consecutive high-scoring matches have boosted the excitement for the India-South Africa series. The series was already eagerly awaited, but the intense competition between the two teams has thrilled the fans, leading to a huge rush for tickets for each upcoming match. However, due to this rush, a major tragedy has been averted in Cuttack, Odisha.
Huge crowd of fans to get tickets
The ODI series between India and South Africa will also be followed by five T20 matches. Stars like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will be absent, but the back-to-back intense matches make the series just as exciting. Wherever the match is being played, fans are rushing to get tickets.
There was a stampede for tickets
In Visakhapatnam, tickets are being sold offline as well as online, but this led to a large crowd of fans gathering outside the stadium, leading to stampedes and stampedes. Videos circulating on social media show long queues to buy tickets, leading to a stampede-like situation. Policemen were also seen trying to control the crowd.
No accident occurred
The conditions depicted in this video clearly indicate the possibility of a major accident. However, it is a relief that there was no accident despite the crowding and jostling. However, it has raised questions on the Odisha Cricket Association’s practices. The incident comes months after 11 people were killed in a stampede during RCB’s title-winning celebrations in Bengaluru.
