When the Indian cricket team enthralled Sydney Cricket Ground with their skill, there was one area of the stadium that caught everyone's attention. When a man proposed to his girlfriend in front of all the other fans in a stand full of Indian supporters, and when she answered yes, it was only fair for the video of the proposal to go viral on social media.
Australia is hosting the T20 World Cup, and cricket fans are enjoying the competition to the fullest. One fan went above and above the standard spectator experience by popping the question to his girlfriend during India's match versus the Netherlands. The woman said yes, and the pair had a happy ending.
