Everyone who has been hurt is taken to a neighbouring hospital. There will be more ticket counters so that the sale of tickets may continue smoothly.

As per the reports, the lathi charge has left 20 people injured. Seven injured are shifted to a nearby hospital in Secunderabad.

With the help of Green’s 61 and Wade’s 45, Australia overcame India in the first T20I by successfully chasing down a massive 208. Before it, India batted rather effectively with contributions from KL Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav of 55 and 46 runs and Hardik Pandya’s 71 runs. India’s poor bowling performance was a big contributing factor to their defeat.

A fantastic cricket match is anticipated here on Friday as these two teams square off once more in Nagpur. With a victory, Australia will have a commanding advantage in the series.
