Ahead of India's first Test against Sri Lanka on December 2, a cricket fanatic has appealed to the court:
Suresh Babu, a cricket lover from nearby Gummidipoondi, said in his plea that the one-day international between India and South Africa here on Nov 22 had to be abandoned due to heavy showers.
An India-New Zealand match in 2003 was similarly called off due to rains.
"Thousands of fans who had purchased tickets were disappointed as the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association did not refund their money," Babu said.
"Now with a cyclone developing in the Bay of Bengal and set to cross the coast Thursday, the court should issue a stay order on the conduct of the match in order to prevent fans from buying tickets and return disappointed if the match gets cancelled," he said.
