MOHALI: At frequent intervals during the half-an-hour drive from Chandigarh railway station to the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in Mohali, there are digital billboards reminding you that Virat Kohli is about to take the field for the 100th time in Test cricket on Friday.
About half a day after the Indian cricket board (BCCI) and the PCA announced that the first Test against Sri Lanka can have a crowd at 50 per cent of capacity, there were people queuing up outside various gates of the stadium enquiring about the availability of tickets.
