In the clash between India and Pakistan cricket teams, the poise of Rohit Sharma, the intensity of Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah's cerebral artistry make team India overwhelming favorites against arch-rivals Pakistan in the World Cup match at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday that has a compelling socio-political context, implications of which transcend beyond the 22-yards. Before such an important match, it is obvious that the fans are also at the peak of their excitement. In the middle of such a scene, the demand for tickets definitely reaches an all-time high. They are not only the fans who face problems due to such a high demand for tickets, but the players also face difficulties as they are approached by their acquaintances about arranging last-minute tickets or passes.
The batsman of the Indian cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav, has raised the issue and requested that his acquaintances not ask for tickets to the India vs. Pakistan game anymore. He took to his Instagram story to write: "Bhailog ghar pe acche acche TV hain sabke, enjoy karo aur AC mein baith ke match dekho. No more ticket requests, please."
This is a match where emotional quotients play a role, and it has created heroes and villains in equal measure over the years.
