Hours after Hindu right-wing party Shiv Sena activists stormed the Mumbai office of Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) ahead of Shahryar Khan's meeting with his BCCI president Shashank Manohar, cricket fans took to Twitter to vent over the Shiva Sena attack, while urging the PCB to boycott the Indian board.
