IND vs ENG 2nd ODI: A stampede-like situation broke out outside the Barabati Stadium on Wednesday as thousands of cricket fans queued up to buy offline tickets for the second ODI between India and England, scheduled for February 9. Reports indicate that the crowd grew so large that local police had to use water cannons to disperse it. At least 10 people are reported to have fallen unconscious during the chaos.

The online ticket sales for the match began on February 2, but many fans who were unable to secure tickets after hours of waiting were given an opportunity to purchase physical tickets on February 5 and 6. News of this opportunity spread quickly, and fans began lining up outside the stadium from early Wednesday morning. Some even camped out overnight to ensure they did not miss out on the chance to watch the match after a five-year gap at the venue.
