The Test series between India and England in February saw fans finally returning back to the stadium. The first Test in Chennai was played behind closed doors but 50 percent fans were allowed for the second game in the same venue. The same capacity of fans were allowed at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera Ahmedabad, which hosted the third and fourth Tests. Mumbai Indians fielding coach James Pamment believes that opening the stands to the fans was "irresponsible" as it may have led to Ahmedabad becoming a Covid hotspot at the moment. From my perspective, that was a little irresponsible, and now Ahmedabad is a hot-bed of Covid," Pamment signed off.
