Thrown Nut Bolts?
Cricbuzz has written in its report that the spectators threw nut bolts on the dugout of Lucknow. If so, then the question arises as to how the nuts and bolts came to the audience. Because it is forbidden to carry such things in the stadium. It is possible that the audience has taken them out from something lying there but it is not that easy.
