Agarkar: Crowd reaction was disgraceful

Ajit Agarkar says the Barabati Stadium should be sanctioned for poor crowd behavior, which caused multiple disruptions to play, during the 2nd T20I between India and South Africa at Cuttack

The crowds may be upset with the way India played this evening but the way they are behaving is very disappointing. #IndvsSA

Disgraceful scenes in Cuttack. Nobody has a right to throw bottles onto the ground. Crowd performance worse than that of the players.

Fans make heroes out of sportsmen alright, but they can't let the country down with bad behaviour when their heroes let them down #IndvsSA
