A disturbing altercation overshadowed a great World Cup 2023 match between India and Afghanistan on Wednesday. The fight broke out at Arun Jaitley Stadium among spectators, leading to a flurry of concern among fans and authorities alike.

Clash erupted among fans at Arun Jaitley Stadium during IND vs AFG clash

Footage of the clash swiftly made its rounds on social media, showing a group of fans involved in a physical brawl, delivering heavy blows to each other. 

What was equally alarming was that instead of intervening, several onlookers were engrossed in recording the melee on their mobile devices, sparking concerns about the modern-day propensity to prioritize digital recording over safety and intervention.

While the reasons behind the altercation remain unclear, stadium security and local authorities were quick to intervene, ensuring that order was soon restored. The governing bodies are expected to review the incident thoroughly, and stricter security measures may be introduced to prevent such incidents in future matches.




Despite the off-field disruption, on the pitch, the Indian team delivered a stellar performance. Under the leadership of skipper Rohit Sharma, who achieved a remarkable feat of becoming the highest century-scorer in World Cup history, India pursued their target of 273 with flamboyance and marked their second consecutive win of the campaign.

On the other hand, Afghanistan, despite an initially wobbly start, managed to put forth a competitive score, thanks to the efforts of captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai.

India will now take on arch-rivals Pakistan Match 12 of World Cup 2023 on Saturday, October 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
