The police said the fan, who was identified as Tiger Roby, fell ill during the second Test match.

Roby, who is often seen wearing a Tiger costume, regularly attends Bangladesh Team's matches.

Earlier, Roby claimed he was punched in the stadium following an altercation.

However, he later made a U-turn after police denied the charge and said he fell ill in the stadium.

"I fell ill and the police brought me to the hospital. Now I am feeling much better. My name is Roby and I have come from Bangladesh," he stated in a short video clip as quoted by Hindustan Times.

India is currently 1-0 up in the series.

The first Test match was played in Chennai.
