An Indian fan was forced to leave the stadium during the second Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval for showing a piece of ‘sandpaper‘ while sitting in the stands, trying to remind of the infamous scandal that rocked Australian cricket during their 2018 tour of South Africa.
In a video that has gone viral on the internet, the fan could be seen forcibly ejected from the venue by the security officials while he kept waving the sandpaper amid mixed reactions of cheers and jeers.

The fan was trying to remind the Australians in the crowd about the controversey six years ago, which saw greats like the then captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner getting banned, along with teammate Cameron Bancroft.
Bancroft was caught on camera, using a piece of sandpaper while trying to alter the condition of the ball during the third Test in Cape Town. It later came to light that the act was done while being in the knowledge of Smith and Warner.

While Bancroft received a nine-month suspension, Smith and Warner were banned for a year each.
Meanwhile, India, who entered the pink-ball Test in Adelaide after winning the opening match of the series in Perth, lost the game by 10 wickets, which let the Aussies level the series at 1-1.
The third Test begins in Brisbane on December 14.
