In India, cricket is like religion. But sometimes people who treat this as a religion cross their limits and do something which is not only shameful but also intolerable. Same thing happened yesterday when India lost second T20 against Australia in Guwahati.
Fans Disappointment Broke out on Aussies bus
After one-sided victory over Indian team gave Aussies a lot of joy but it certainly hurt Indian fans. Indian fans expressed their anger by throwing stones and attacking their bus while they were returning from the ground towards the hotel.

Union sports minister, Rajyavardhan Rathore said that incident does not reflect our security measures and also spoke about the same with Assam Chief Minister.
Guwahati stone-throwing incident NOT reflective of our security measures. Aus team & FIFA are content w/those. India remains a graceful host

Soon after other players also started reacting to the incident. Authorities Immediately came into action and took a serious note of it especially looking the final T20 match. Currently both the teams managed to win 1 match each and this is going to be an exciting final. Australian team though lost the ODI series by 4-1. But in the shorter format they have a chance to finish the tour with the trophy.
Match Highlights
Behrendorff, young fast bowler played a key role in this victory. He took four prime wickets and sent Indian top order back. Indian team could not get up from these opening blows and finally ended just putting 118 runs on the board.
Australia in the second inning didn’t heckle much. Australia did lose first two wickets quite early but after initial 2 wickets, Head 48 and Henriques 62 comfortably took Australia home.
Both Head and Henriques targeted Indian wrist spinners and showed some great footwork.
Bhuveneshwar and Jasprit Bumrah shared two wickets between them but others failed to restrain the Australia and went wicketless. Kuldeep Yadav leaked 46 runs in his four overs.
Behrendorff set the match for Aussies very early in the match. He just gave 21 runs and picked four important wickets for Australia. He got both inform batsman Virat and Rohit in the first over of the innings.
Dhoni and Jadhav showed some fight but Zampa went through the defense of both. Dhoni got stumped while Jadhav got bowled on a beautiful googly.
In the end, Hardik Pandya contribution helped India to cross 100 run mark which seemed hard at a point.
Now all eyes on the final T20 which is going to be played on Friday in Hyderabad. Apart from the great cricketing rivalry between two nations everyone across India and world condemned the incident and appealed to take it as a game.
Do you know few cricketing rules are getting changed in next 10 years and they are really surprising.
