Fans Return To International Cricket Grounds After More Than 8 Months
After the corona virus, international and domestic cricket gradually resumed, but spectators were not allowed to enter the stadium.
Earlier, the cricket boards of India and Australia had decided to allow spectators to enter the field while ensuring security measures.
In today's ODI match being played at Sydney Stadium, 50% of the spectators have been allowed to watch the match.
Similarly, when it hosts the third Test match of the ground series on January 7, 50% of the spectators will be allowed to enter and according to Cricket Australia, 27,000 tickets will be sold every day for the match.
Only 25% of the spectators are allowed to enter the Melbourne arena, while the Gabba Stadium Boxing Day Test will be played in the presence of 75% of the spectators.
Inspired by the 1992 World Cup jersey, the Indian sponsors have created a similar jersey for the series, which is very popular among the Indian people.
Several Indian cricketers, who were part of the 1992 World Cup squad, seized the opportunity and posted pictures on social media with their old jerseys.
They include 1992 World Cup wicketkeeper Kiran Murray and middle-order batsman Sanjay Manjrekar, who said the jersey still fits them.
India's 1992 World Cup campaign is based on very unpleasant memories as their journey ended in round matches but the Indian team's jersey was very popular at that time.
A minute's silence was observed in memory of Dan Jones and his memorable videos were played in the stadium on which the cheerful mood of Dan Jones spread smiles on the faces of the spectators who watched the videos with wet eyes.
A minute's silence was observed in memory of the former all-rounder, followed by a silence in memory of Phil Hughes, who died on November 27, six years ago today.
Later, when Aaron Finch completed his fifties and centuries while batting, he also paid homage to Phil Hughes by calling him to the heavens in his memory.
