Team India-s fanatic supporter Sudhir Gautam was in for a shock when the authorities here at the Ageas Bowl confiscated his conch shell for security reasons. He was, however, allowed to keep his giant Indian flag to the ground.

Sudhir was terribly upset at not being able to blow his conch shell as it has been his tradition when the Indian team make their way to the ground. He considers it a good luck factor.
