IND vs SL: Kohli's 100th Test to have 50 per cent fans in Mohali stadium

The Hindu  

When Virat Kohli features in his 100th Test match at the PCA Stadium in Mohali on Friday, 50 per cent spectators will be allowed to watch the iconic fixture from the stands. Earlier, reports suggested that the fixture will be played in empty stands due to COVID-19 protocols, but BCCI secretary Jay Shah said, "The first Test between India and Sri Lanka to be played at the Punjab Cricket Stadium in Mohali will not be held behind closed doors. I have spoken with the PCA office bearers and they have confirmed that cricket fans will be able to witness the historic moment of Virat Kohli playing his 100th Test match.” “While we started off the West Indies tour of India behind closed doors, the encouraging dip in COVID-19 cases allowed the hosting associations to permit crowds. May he continue to represent the country in many more matches to come.” READ: Confirming the development to Sportstar, Punjab Cricket Association president Rajinder Gupta said, “Keeping the COVID-19 protocols in mind, we have finally got the permission to allow a 50 per cent crowd in the stadium.
