“I have three dogs at home. Even after losing a series or winning a series, they treat me the same way.” This famous quote was said by Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. And this has once again been shouted out by agitated netizens on Twitter after the shameful behaviour witnessed by the Indian cricket fans in Cuttack.
All of you know that angry Indian fans hurled water bottles onto the field of play in Monday night’s match at the Barabati stadium after the hosts were bowled out for 92, their second-lowest total in T20 matches.
Twitterati’s Advice To Cuttack Cricket Fans For Shaming India:
It was not the series defeat that hurt the Twitterati but the immoral act by few cricket fans that irked everyone on Twitter. Soon the hash tag #Cuttack started trending on Twitter.
Disappointed with the indiscipline crowd, cricketers like Mohammad Kaif, Yuvaraj Singh & VVS Laxman immediately reacted to the humiliation team India faced during the match.

The incident also raises questions about safety precautions at grounds in India, especially for high-profile matches like today’s. India great Sunil Gavaskar led calls on Tuesday for Cuttack to be banned as a cricket venue.
