The first t20 between Srilanka and India was called off on Sunday after damp patches on the pitch refused to dry up. And despite no game of cricket, we didn’t switch to any other channel because there was so much of everything else happening on the ground.
Although the rain God was a spoilsport at Guhwati’s Barsapara Cricket Stadium, but the fans assured they have all the fun while they wait for the match to begin.
So in perfect synchronization, the capacity crowd sang the national song of India – Vande Mataram – giving us all sorts of goosebumps.
The fans also torched the lights of their phone while singing the national song. For the unknown, India had won the toss and chose to bowl first in the first t20 against Sri Lanka. The next t20 will be played on January 7 at the Holkar Cricket Stadium in Indore.
