IND V AUS: Around 12,000 Fill The VCA Stadium On Opening Day Of 1st Test

By IANS News February 09, 2023 • 16:59 PM View: 1145

The Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) had claimed that 40,000 tickets had been sold for the first Test of the four-match series at its stadium in Jamtha but only 12,000 of them turned up at the stadium on the opening day on Thursday.

But that was a good enough crowd considering it is a weekday and it was Australia that were batting first and not India. Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first in front of 9,000 spectators. The crowd swelled to 12,000 in the afternoon session as the Indian bowlers did well to reduce Australia to 174/8 at tea.
