For all the Indians, just imagine you pay for tickets, hotel and flight to support your team in a foreign country, and then their people treat you like this-Taking away your banner and not allowing you to chant for your team. How would you feel?????#INDvBAN #BANvsIND #CWC23 https://t.co/2HlmsIEohV

The Indian fans had earlier allegedly heckled Pakistan's Mohd Rizwan with chants of 'Jai Shree Ram' after he got out during match against India. There was another incident of a policeman stopping a Pakistani fan from chanting 'Pakistan Zindabad' during the Men in Green's defeat against Australia on Friday night.
