While another user wrote, “Get the feeling the song and dance is to ensure the stadium is packed from the start of the game. Can’t be taken for granted even for an India-Pakistan ODI.”
While few joked, “world cup is unofficially starting from 14th October”.
🙄 Are you guys trolling all other teams 🌍🏏 that their matches, their participation doesn”t matter and the event is all about India 🇮🇳 vs. Pakistan 🇵🇰?
It”s not the opening match, neither is it the final! Why so much drama and fuss about it? It”s just a match like we had with…
