Team India is currently busy playing the three-match T20I series at home against Australia. However, on 20 September 2022, they lost the series opener in Mohali. After having a poor Asia Cup campaign, India failed to make a winning comeback in that match also. Hence, they will look to do well in the next two matches in Nagpur and Hyderabad respectively.
The third and final match of this series will take place in Hyderabad on 25 September 2022. The Indian Cricket Board have already issued the tickets. Hence, the selling of those tickets has started already. But, an unwanted scenario occurred as Hyderabad Police got involved to control the massive crowd who came to buy match tickets. The video went viral all over the internet.
Here is the shared video on Twitter:

Hyderabad hosted its last international match on 6 December 2019 between India and West Indies in a T20I series
Speaking of the viral video, it was seen that a large crowd gathered to buy the match tickets at Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad. It was so disorganized that Hyderabad police came there to manage that chaos. It was even unfortunate that they had to use their sticks to beat some people while managing that chaos.
Many people got injured due to that. As the video went viral, people found it very unfortunate as those people were waiting for tickets for a long time, Some fans also blamed the Board for not providing enough international matches in Hyderabad. This city hosted its last international match on 6 December 2019. It was the first game of a three-match T20I series between India and the West Indies. In that match, India won by six wickets as Virat Kohli scored 94* runs off 50 balls.
Speaking of this ongoing series against the Aussies, India scored 208 runs by losing six wickets while batting first. In reply, Australia managed to chase it down in just 19.2 overs. Australia won the match by four wickets. Now, on 23 September, India will lock horns with the Aussies in Nagpur.
