16 Oct India vs Pakistan: Players Feel Pressure For ICC World Cup 2023 Match Tickets
The India vs. Pakistan cricket match in the ICC World Cup is always one of the most highly anticipated and closely watched fixtures in the tournament. The rivalry between the two nations on the cricket field is intense, and these matches often attract a global audience.
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which is one of the largest and most modern cricket stadiums in the world, is sure to be filled to its capacity for this match. Demand for tickets for this particular fixture is indeed expected to be extremely high.
Matches between India and Pakistan have a storied history and are known for their high tension and competitiveness. They provide a unique spectacle that goes beyond just the sport of cricket, as they often carry political and cultural significance due to the historic rivalry between the two nations.
The pressure on players like Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, to provide tickets for a high-profile India vs. Pakistan cricket match is not uncommon. The pressure to accommodate these requests can indeed be quite intense, and it’s not surprising that Babar Azam mentioned it during the pre-match press conference. Players have various commitments both on and off the field, and managing the ticket situation can add to their pre-match stress. However, it’s a part of the package that comes with playing in high-stakes contests, especially against a rival as significant as India or Pakistan in a World Cup match.
“There is more pressure for match tickets than match. It is not a pressure match for us. We have played each other a lot of times,” Babar said in the pre-match press conference. Meanwhile, India batter Suryakumar Yadav took to social media to inform people to stop making requests for tickets and enjoy the India vs Pakistan match from the comforts of their homes instead of flocking the stadium.
Yadav’s story on Instagram was in a mix of hindi and english, which translates to: “Everyone has good televisions at their homes. So, enjoy the match with AC on. No more ticket request please.” Meanwhile, some fans, who bought the ticket for lower price last month have reportedly been offered 10 times of what they paid for the ticket for the India vs Pakistan match. One fan, who bought a ticket for Rs 2,500 was reportedly offered over Rs 20,000 for the ticket.
The tickets for the India vs Pakistan first went on sale on September 3, while BCCI announced a few more tickets would be available earlier this month. The tickets for the match was available on the official ICC website and BookMyShow, the official ticket booking partner for the ICC.
