‘Fans ka dimaag he kharab kardoge bhai tum log’ – Fans react to reports of India vs Pakistan ODI World Cup clash to be rescheduled
India vs Pakistan clash is going to be one of the most awaited encounter in the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023.
The India-Pakistan World Cup game set for October 15 in Ahmedabad is probably going to be delayed. According to some reports from the security agencies, the Indian Cricket Board has been asked to reschedule because the 2023 ODI World Cup’s eagerly awaited encounter is set to take place on the first day of Navratri, which is celebrated with widespread participation at garba evenings throughout Gujarat.
Fans who have already made travel arrangements for the game, whose tickets are going to sell out in a matter of hours, would face a logistical nightmare if the date is changed, resulting in record-breaking TRPs for broadcasters.
“We are mulling the options that we have and a decision will be taken soon”: Indian Cricket Board source
One of the top officials from the Indian Cricket Board spoke about the decision over the date of the iconic India vs Pakistan clash. They said, “We are mulling the options that we have and a decision will be taken soon. We have been told by the security agencies that a high-profile game like India vs Pakistan, for which thousands of travelling fans are expected to reach Ahmedabad, should be avoided since they will be stretched because of Navratri.”
The roughly 1 lakh-seat Narendra Modi Stadium received four major matches when the apex cricket body released the World Cup schedule late last month: the tournament’s opening match between New Zealand and England, India vs. Pakistan, England vs. Australia, and the championship. The competition will take place in ten cities, with Mumbai and Kolkata hosting the semifinals.
According to reports from Ahmedabad, all homestay choices have been used up and the majority of hotels are already overbooked for mid-October. Additionally, a rise in airfare was anticipated and the trip to watch the game is set to be kind of on the expensive side. In the event that an alternate date to host the India-Pakistan encounter is revealed, massive cancellations and crazed bookings are likely to occur.
