After Australia beat India by 8 wickets to level the series 1-1, an unprecedented event happened in which a stone or a small rock was thrown at the Australian cricket team bus. It also broke the window of the bus and luckily none of the players were left injured. Aaron Finch took to Twitter to talk about the episode and express his shock. This is an episode that reminds us of the Sri Lankan bus attack by armed assailants in Lahore. The incident that happened with the visiting team raises concerns about the safety and security of players, which is of utmost importance.
The Aussie opener took to Twitter to post a picture of the broken window pane with the caption, “Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!”
