There had been a huge crowd outside the stadium since the ticket counters opened at 9am. Many people had even been waiting in line since last night.
Reports said the police had to resort to a mild lathicharge several times since morning to control crowds at the ticket sale counter which has been closed for now.
The Nagpur stadium’s capacity is 45,000, of which 26,000 seats are open for the general public and the tickets are being sold for Rs 300, 600 and 1000.
There is heavy police deployment at the site.
Late last month, police had lathicharged thousands of fans at the Chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore as they waited to buy tickets for the India-England match.
