Even, the training sessions before the match are held with every precaution taken care of. 50 percent crowd has been allowed in the ongoing pink-ball Test here at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
When ANI contacted a GCA official about the fan breaching the protocols, he replied: “We will look into the matter and we will find out who the fan was. Some sort of action we will take as the matter is serious and safety of everyone is of utmost importance.”
