During the second Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series, a fan was forced to leave the stadium for his actions. The pink-ball Test, which concluded on Sunday, December 8, becoming the shortest completed Test in Australia by balls bowled, saw the Aussies fight back in style as they handed India a crushing 10-wicket defeat.
While it was a commanding win for the hosts, the pink-ball Test was also marred with several controversies, including the one heated face-off between Travis Head and Mohammed Siraj. In one of the recent videos which has been making rounds on social media, a fan was also chucked out of the stadium premises after he was seen waving a piece of sandpaper.
