The craze of cricket in India is on a different level. Fans wait in long queues outside the stadium to purchase tickets. The same has been seen in Hyderabad, the city that will host India and Australia cricket teams for the last T20I of the three-match series on September 25. However, those fans have been treated roughly by the local police.
Apparently, the fans crowded the ticket counter outside the Gymkhana ground of Secunderabad. The police 'lathi charged' the fans which created chaos. A video of the incident was recorded and uploaded on social media. Famous journalist KP Ashish uploaded the video on the micro-blogging website and has been watched by more than 50,000 and has gotten 111 likes and counting.

Talking about the series between India and Australia, the visitors are leading the series by 1-0. They chased down 209 runs to win the first game played in Mohali. After the loss, it is now important for the Men In Blue to win the second game on September 23 in Nagpur to keep the series alive. Also, not to forget the fans have been looking forward to the last T20I on September 25.
The hosts need to solve their bowling and fielding issues which prevailed in the first game. Talking about the bowling, they haven't been able to defend targets since the Super Four round of the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022. On the other hand, their fielding was poor in Mohali as they dropped a few catches which eventually cost them the game. It will be important for the team to work on both aspects of the game as the 20-20 World Cup 2022 comes near.
