Not surprised at all! Indian fans always show up in huge numbers wherever Team India plays. The Australia series is always special after the legendary 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Hope we get to see another thrilling contest this time! 🇮🇳🏏

Wow, 16% tickets bought by Indian fan clubs! Our passion for cricket is unmatched. Though I wish the ticket prices were more affordable for students and middle-class families. The diaspora is lucky to get this opportunity, but what about fans back home? Star Sports should ensure good broadcast quality at least.

The Bharat Army is doing us proud again! 2400 tickets is no joke. Australian grounds will feel like home matches for Team India with all this support. Just hoping our boys perform better in white-ball cricket this time - our middle order needs to step up!

As an Indian living in Melbourne, I'm so excited for this series! 😍 Managed to get tickets for MCG but it was really tough. The Indian community here is buzzing with cricket fever. Hope BCCI organizes more matches in India too - we haven't had proper bilateral series at home for so long!

While the ticket sales are impressive, I'm more concerned about the scheduling. Why are we playing so many matches in Australia when our domestic season is about to start? The players will be exhausted before World Cup preparations. BCCI should balance overseas commitments better.

The Gabba T20I will be epic! After our historic Test win there, this venue has become special for Indian fans. Kudos to Amit Goyal for organizing 880 tickets - that's proper fan dedication. Hope we get to see Kohli in full flow against the Aussies again!
