Southampton: There was a special supporter in the crowd to cheer for Virat Kohli & Co among the scores of Indian fans at Ageas Bowl on Saturday — wheelchair-bound Indian para-athlete Suvarna Raj. She came all the way from Chester, travelling close to four hours, to witness the match against Afghanistan.
"Hats off to the planning and detailing of the government here. I could easily change trains and board the bus all on my own. I faced no inconvenience at all in reaching the ground," Suvarna told mid-day while watching Kohli bat from the Shane Warne Stand.
