Kolkata: The first Test match between India and Sri Lanka at Mohali, which will be Virat Kohli’s 100th appearance, will be thrown open to the fans after all. In a late announcement on Tuesday, the BCCI secretary reversed their earlier decision of hosting the match behind closed doors due to a marginal rise of Covid-19 cases in Punjab.
