India vs Australia 2017: Indian Fan Warns Adam Zampa 'Next Target Your Head Only'
Updated - 12 Oct 2017, 12:28 AM
At a time when everyone is condemning the unfortunate attack on the Australian team bus that took place after the players were headed towards the hotel following the win in the second T20 International over India in Guwahati, leg-spinner Adam Zampa experienced yet another unpleasant incident although it was not as horrific as the one that took place in Guwahati.
However, it was scary enough to compel the Australian leg-spinner to make everyone aware of it. The bowler, who took 2 for 19 off his four overs in the second game, took to Instagram to post a screen-shot of a comment from one of the Indian fans which stated that the next time his head will be targetted.
On Tuesday, the Australian players were shell-shocked after a rock was thrown at their team bus, shattering one of the windows. Cricket Australia stated that no one was seated next to the window where the rock pierced the glass and fell inside the vehicle. The cricket board also reported that ‘while no one was injured, the Australian players were understandably shaken up by the incident’.

The stone thrown at the Aussie team bus shows us in bad light, let's all act more responsibly. A vast majority of us are capable of that.?

Meanwhile, Australia thrashed India by 8 wickets in the second One-Day International to level the three-match series. Batting first, India were all out for a paltry 118 after Jason Behrendorff’s 4-wicket haul rocket their top-order.
In reply, Australia began their chase on a shaky note with both of their openers David Warner and Aaron Finch departing early but Moises Henriques (62) and Travis Head (48) stitched together an unbeaten partnership of 109 runs to take the visitors home.
