IND vs AFG: Empty Stadium, Tobacco Ads Shame on BCCI?

The ongoing India vs Afghanistan Test has sparked discussion among fans. While India are batting on Day 1, many seats in the stadium remain empty.

At the same time, Pan Bahar advertisements are visible across the ground and during the broadcast.

India are playing an international Test match at home, yet the crowd turnout has been poor during the opening day.

Many fans believe that cricket matches should not carry advertisements linked to pan masala brands because young viewers watch the game regularly.

They argue that repeated visibility of such brands can have an impact on children. Cricket promotes fitness and a healthy lifestyle.

Because of this, some fans feel that pan masala linked advertisements do not fit with the image of the sport.

The empty stands and Pan Bahar advertisements have become major talking points during the India vs Afghanistan Test, with many fans sharing their views on social media.
