India vs England Tickets: How to buy tickets online for the 2nd Test at Chennai?

The second Test of the ongoing series between India and England will see the spectators returning to the stands for the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak in March last year. The Indian fans have not watched an international game from the stands since the ODI against Australia in January last year. Action around the world came to a standstill in March.

Fortunately, things have been improving over the last couple of months. The likes of Australia and New Zealand have already welcomed the fans in the stadiums and the Indian authorities are now all set to follow suit this month. The ongoing first Test in Chennai is being played behind closed doors because the authorities did not get permission to allow the fans inside the stadium in time.

But the second Test, which will be also played in Chennai, will see the return of fans. So as Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) gear up to welcome the fans, here is all the information you need if you are one of the fans who want to watch the action from the stands.
