Team hotel turned into a fortress

The Taj Residency, where both the Indian and the Australian cricket teams are staying, has turned into a virtual fortress.

Each floor is guarded by armed policemen and all visitors to the hotel are checked thoroughly at the entry points. Despite the tight security, a huge crowd gathered outside the hotel to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars.

Bad day for cricket fans

It was a bad day for the city’s cricket fans Wednesday, on the eve of the fifth one-day international between India and Australia here.

Hundreds of schoolchildren were denied entry to the Reliance Stadium, the venue of the fifth ODI, when the Indian team practised Wednesday morning. Some lucky ones managed to sneak in but the presence of a large police posse did not permit them to get anywhere close to the players.
