The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has finally got underway on Thursday, October 05 as England and New Zealand are locking horns in the curtain raiser of the tournament. However, the opening game isn’t being attended by a large number of fans as pic of empty seats at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been going viral all over social media.
Fans are quite unhappy with the low turnout of people to watch the opening game and are comparing it with the opening game of World Cup 2015 held in Australia. The viral image compares the crowd present at the opening game of the 2023 World Cup to that of the first match of the 2015 World Cup between Australia and England.
There are some things money can’t buy.
For everything else, there is BCCI. pic.twitter.com/jLOPSL5FUp
