It it is all about Barabati now. It has had its share of moments, of notorious and celebrated ones. The last time on a October evening, all hell broke loose as plastic bottles hurled by mobs of fans cordoned the fence. The game faced multiple disruptions before South Africa chased down the target and cantered home to bring an end to the fiasco. Social media was furious, local administration quiet, India was shamed at the international, the then captain MS downplayed it to bear criticism and at the centre of it was Barabati, a venue which hosted India's 3rd home ODI back in 1982.
