India vs Pakistan: The October 15 World Cup match between India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad could be moved to a different date. Security services have told the BCCI that the schedule needs to be changed.
IND vs. PAK: The India-Pakistan World Cup game planned for October 15 in Ahmedabad could be moved. Even though the International Cricket Council (ICC) has already set the schedule, one of the most important matches of the event will be moved. A report in the Indian Express said that the date of the match between India and Pakistan could be changed because October 15 is the first day of “Navratri,” a festival that is marked with Garba dances all night long, especially in the state of Gujarat.
All over Gujarat, Garba Night is a big deal. It is set up in a lot of places. Because of this, the security services have told the BCCI that the schedule needs to be changed. If the date of the match changes, it will be a big disappointment for the fans who have already made plans to go to Ahmedabad. There were no more tickets for the game after an hour. Broadcasters expect this match to have the most TRPs ever.
What did BCCI say
A top BCCI official told The Indian Express, “We are looking at all of our options, and we will make a decision soon.” Security officials have told us that we shouldn’t have big games like India vs. Pakistan during Navratri, when thousands of fans are expected to come to Ahmedabad.
Four games will be played at Narendra Modi Stadium.
When the ICC released the World Cup schedule at the end of last month, four big games were set for the Narendra Modi Stadium, which can hold about a million people. The first match of the event was between New Zealand and England. There was also a high-stakes match between India and Pakistan, a match between England and Australia, and a World Cup match.
Craze regarding India-Pakistan match
Ten towns will host the World Cup, with Mumbai and Kolkata hosting the semi-finals. Most hotels in Ahmedabad are already booked for the middle of October, and even homestays are full. Airfares are also likely to go up. If a new date for the India-Pakistan game is revealed, many hotel and plane reservations will be canceled.
