The behaviour of the crowd in Ahmedabad during the recent Pakistan-India match was a sorry sight. Chanting slogans, derogatory remarks, and fights among the crowd were a reflection of the intolerance that has seeped deeper into Indian society. Both ICC and the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) must take notice of what happened in Ahmedabad. It is very disheartening to see authorities being as hostile as the crowd in Ahmedabad. When BCCI is shying away from upholding the spirit of the sport, we cannot expect much from the crowd.
