Brawls in sporting events is a common event in football matches, but it is new in cricket.

The brawl is also a sign of discontent with fans, with both sides underperforming this season. People could be seen punching kicking and even pulling each other with brute force with no one intervening. The guards and police officials were nowhere to be seen. The 45-minute video sums of the anger of fans of both teams and neither person held himself back in a vicious example of physical assault.
