Though India lost to Australia by 51 runs, something interesting happened in the crowd. Something that did not go unnoticed by the fans of the two teams. As the two big guns of cricket battled it out on the field, two fans in the crowd were busy scripting their love story.
The strange part is that the two love birds were supporting different teams. While the lady was seen in Australian jersey, the guy was donning the India colors - seemingly from Indian origins.
There has been number of proposals on the cricket field but it was a special one as it's the first time that the fans are allowed to witness men's cricket since March. Due to COVID-19 threat and restrictions, many cricketing boards are hosting games in front of empty stands.
The beautiful moment was captured on camera and the crowd went gaga over the spectacular event.

The incident was caught by the camera, as the guy went down on his knee with the ring to propose the girl - which she gleefully accepted, amidst a lot of cheers from the crowd.
As the jovial couple hugged and kissed after the big moment, their union was approved by none other than Aussie star cricketer Glenn Maxwell, who watched the incident on the big screen. Maxwell clapped and applauded the duo, which can also be seen in the video above.
Earlier, Australia posted a mammoth 389/4 on the board. Steve Smith scored his second successive ton (104 off 64 balls; 4x14, 6x2) in the game as the Indian bowlers were thrashed all across the SCG. Glenn Maxwell launched the fireworks at the death, playing a rapid-fire knock off 63* from just 29 balls.
In reply, India were bundled out at 338/9 in 50 overs to give Aussies second win in a row. With this, India also lost three-match series to Oz.
