Amid the riveting cricketing action at the Sydney Cricket Ground during the second ODI between India and Australia, there was a romantic side-plot brewing in the stands. During India’s chase of 390, an Indian supporter in the crowd got down on one knee to propose to his partner – an Australian fan. As the crowd cheered on, she accepted and he got up to give her a hug and a kiss. In a video shared by cricket.com.au that captured the special moment, Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell can be seen applauding the couple with a smile on his face.
