Indian fan proposes to Australian girlfriend in stands as Maxwell claps from field

Cricket Desk: India and Australia are currently involved in the second ODI of the three-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground. With this series, the spectators also returned to the ground after most of the matches were played behind closed doors due to COVID-19 outbreak. The state government has allowed 50% of the crowds and with it, the excitement is back on the field even for the players.

Fans do different kind of antics in the stadium during the match to hog the limelight and even the viewers enjoy the same. During the first ODI between the two teams, a fan ran into the field with a placard taking a dig at Adani, over the ongoing issue of coal mine project in Australia. The protests even reached outside the SCG and it became a talking point for the day.

Was this the riskiest play of the night? 💍

On Sunday, it wasn’t a controversy but an interesting incident took place that left everyone chuffed in the stadium. It took place after 20 overs were completed in the second innings. An Indian fan proposed his Australian girlfriend sitting on his knees and offering her a ring. The girl was understandably surprised and without much delay, she accepted the proposal even as the crowd in the stadium cheered for her.

Proposal captured in camera

The moment was a special one for the couple as the moment was captured on camera and millions watched. The video was soon shared on Twitter and it has gone viral in no time. Even the commentators enjoyed it and Glenn Maxwell also celebrated the moment clapping when it was showed on the big screen.

As far as the match is concerned, things are not looking good for India as they are chasing a mammoth total of 390 runs. Australian batsmen once again had fun with their talisman Steve Smith scoring a 62-ball ton. Glenn Maxwell and Marnus Labuschagne also scored half-centuries while Aaron Finch and David Warner laid the platform with 60 and 83 runs respectively.
