India-Pak match sidelights: tight security keeps frenzied fans on the edge in Bangalore

India TV News  

Bangalore, Dec 26: The first high-voltage T20 match between arch rivals India and Pakistan late Tuesday drew frenzied fans in hordes to the Chinnaswamy stadium but unprecedented security kept them on the edge, as they were under watchful eyes of hundreds of cops deployed across the stands. In a way, it is good to regulate fans for maintaining discipline though it shackles our right to express," said N. Mohan Kumar, a law student.With the stadium turning into a virtual fortress to keep potential trouble makers away and prevent any sort of demonstration outside or inside the venue, fans had tough time in entering the stadium in time as parking was banned 1km around and vehicular movement was restricted.Resumption of the much-hyped bilateral series for the shorter version of the game brought an upbeat Pakistan team to India after a gap of five years, but not hundreds of fans from across the border, as they could not get tickets for this match in time to secure visas and make travel arrangements. As it takes at least seven working days for completing the formalities, many fans kept away," a Pakistan official accompanying the team told IANS.Barring the 16-member Pakistan squad and a dozen officials, absence of Pakistani fans in the stadium was conspicuous though the Karnataka State Cricket Association allotted a separate stand in the pavilion for a ring side view of the match on a green turf. We are expecting a large turn out of our fans for the ODI in New Delhi Jan 6," the official quipped.Collapse of the Indian middle order and a paltry 133 runs for nine wickets in the stipulated 20 overs after openers Gautam Gambhir and Ajinkya Rahane gave a sold start to the team disappointed die-hard fans to no end.Put to bat after their captain M.S.
