The Indian Premier League which recently started in India is nothing short of controversies, scandals and more. The league has seen a fair share of controversy revolving around spot-fixing, a player auction system and other scandals.
The Premier League came under fire once again last night when spectators hurled shoes at the players during the match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. The match was being held in Chennai where protests were already taking place outside the cricket stadium.
During the 8th over of the match, angry spectators inside the stadium threw shoes at Faf Du Plesis and Ravindra Jadeja.
At the same time of the match, hundreds of protestors gathered outside the stadium wearing black T-shirts and carrying black balloons shouting slogans against IPL.
The protestors demanded the cancellation of IPL matches held in Chennai until their demands were met. The protests were part of a disputed accord with neighboring Karnataka on how to share the water from Cauvery river in a state that would likely suffer from drought.
Before the IPL matches were scheduled to take place in Chennai, the state government had recommended moving the matches to somewhere else but the government agreed to provide security.
