After Australia beat India by 8 wickets to level the series 1-1, a shocking incident happened in which a stone was thrown at the Australian cricket team bus. It also broke the window of the bus and luckily none of the players were left injured. Aaron Finch took to Twitter to reveal the episode and express his shock.
“Pretty scary having a rock thrown through the team bus window on the way back to the hotel!!” Finch wrote on his Twitter handle.

Unacceptable behaviour. Apologies for this. Hopefully the guilty is punished. #Guwahati https://t.co/1k7fzBHg3O

I saw so many simple, happy faces in Guwahati. Guess the idiot who threw the stone on the Aussie team bus was hiding among them. Not done.
