When the crowd began gathering outside the Arun Jaitely Stadium as early as 4 am, as a long 2km line full of people could be seen at the entry gates. Initially, only three gates were scheduled to be opened for the fans. However, seeing a massive influx of crowd, the DDCA (Delhi & District Cricket Association) decided to open an additional gate as well.
Initially, it was difficult for the security people to handle large number of people with having such deep emotions for the game and the player. The commotion even led to a couple of fans three as reported falling near the entry gate and getting injured. A police bike was also damaged. Later security people took control of the situation.
