The true fans’ reaction on Twitter to the disgraceful behaviour at the Cuttack ground as Proteas surged to victory in the second T20I.
The crowd were angered by the poor batting performance by India and made their views known by throwing bottles on to the field, causing several delays to the game. Areas of the stands were cleared, and the game eventually resumed, enabling South Africa to win, with honour, and take the three-match series 2-0 with one to go.
Dear spectators of #Cuttack, next time watch a match from home; and if India loses, break your own TV. But don’t come at stadium. #IndvsSA — Dipankar. (@deep_anchor) October 5, 2015

If India had an aggressive captain, this would never have happened. The crowd would have accepted his leadership. — cricketingview (@cricketingview) October 5, 2015
Now, South Africa should cite security concerns and cancel the rest of their tour. After all, #acchedin — cricketingview (@cricketingview) October 5, 2015
