IND vs SL 2022 | Twitter reacts as fans slam BCCI for not allowing spectators for Virat Kohli's 100th Test
India are scheduled to play two-match Test series against Sri Lanka after ensuring a series win in T20Is and Mohali Test will be 100th game of his red-ball career for Virat Kohli. Mohali Test will be played behind closed doors due to Covid-19 restrictions and India will look forward to win series.
India are scheduled to play a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka starting from March 4 after ensuring a series win in T20Is. The first Test of the series will be played in Mohali and will be played behind closed doors due to Covid-19 restrictions. The Test will be the 100th game of the red-ball career for Virat Kohli.
There is a lot of expectation about Kohli’s milestone match but the decision to not allow spectators has not gone down well with a section of fans. PCA treasurer RP Singla on Saturday said that the decision has been taken in accordance with a directive from the BCCI.
"Yes, apart from the people, who are on duty for the Test match, we are not allowing any general spectators as per the directive of BCCI," Singla told news agency PTI.
“Still there are fresh COVID cases emerging in and around Mohali, so it’s better we take all safety protocols. Obviously, the fans miss out because an international match at Mohali is happening after almost three years.”
Here are some of the Tweets regarding the decision to not allow spectators in the Mohali Test.
Why?
The man who has always prioritise test cricket. The one who brought the Indian crowd back to watch test cricket. The man who brings so much passion that it rubs off to the crowd as well, is going to play his 100th test behind the close doors. Whyy? @BCCI @imVkohli #ViratKohli𓃵

Not great!
The board can anticipate on bringing in crowds to the stand for IPL which is still a month away, but as per ‘directive of BCCI’ there will be no spectators allowed for Mohali Test which is also Virat Kohli’s 100th Test.

Dirty Politics?
Punjab government is helpless as they received orders from 'BCCI' to organize Virat Kohli's 100th Test behind closed doors.

Crowd allowed in Kolkata, Dharamshala and Bengaluru but not Mohali. What a dirty politics BCCI is playing here! Shameful.#ShameOnBCCI

It’s a pity Virat Kohli’s 100th Test won’t have any crowd to cheer one of his biggest cricketing days. Maybe some percentage should have been let in during the Tests @BCCI
