Show Some Respect To Your Players: Cricketers React To Cuttack Cricket Fans Behaviour During Ind Vs SA T20 Match
The second Twenty20 cricket match between India and South Africa was suspended on Monday after fans, angry about the performance of the Indian team, started hurling plastic bottles on to the ground. India, who also lost the first match of the series, were bundled out for their second lowest T20 total of 92, to the displeasure of a full house at the Barabati Stadium.
Disappointed with the indiscipline crowd, cricketers like Mohammad Kaif, Yuvaraj Singh & VVS Laxman immediately reacted to the humiliation team India faced during the match.
Here are the tweets:

Calling it Disgraceful Indian cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle said crowd performed worse than the players.
Disgraceful scenes in Cuttack. Nobody has a right to throw bottles onto the ground. Crowd performance worse than that of the players.
