India is all set to take on Sri Lanka in the first of the two-match Test series starting on the 4th of March at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. It has been six years since the venue last hosted a Test and a lot of milestones are waiting to be marked up through the five-day game. Virat Kohli will be playing his 100th Test for India at Mohali and it could not get a special occasion than this for the fans to enjoy the game.

As far as the tickets are concerned, the BCCI had initially refrained from allowing fans inside the stadium for the Mohali Test considering the Covid-19 situation. However, yesterday, the board has changed its decision to allow 50 percent of spectators inside the stadium in regard to Kohli’s massive achievement as well.

The Mohali stadium has a maximum seating capacity of 25,000 and it will be restricted to a maximum of 12,500 as stated by BCCI. The tickets will be available for the Test from Wednesday on the Paytm Insider for the public and it is likely to go sold completely in just a few hours from opening.

“We got the communication from BCCI about the allowing of fans for the 1st Test match at Mohali. So far, we will allow the online sale of tickets from Wednesday onwards. Fans will be there to watch Virat Kohli play his 100th Test match,” said PCA Treasurer RP Singla as quoted by Sportskeeda.

Rohit Sharma’s first assignment in Tests at Mohali

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma who led India to a dominating limited-overs series victory against West Indies and Sri Lanka recently will be leading the country for the first time in the longest format. The right-hander was appointed the full-time captain a few weeks before and he will have a huge responsibility on his shoulders replacing India’s most successful Test captain, Virat Kohli. India has dropped the experienced hands of Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ishant Sharma, and Wriddhiman Saha for the series considering their low outputs in recent times.
