England hammers Australia in T20 world cup clash

Oct 18, 2021: With just a few days to go before the match between Asian companies and rivals India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup, demands to cancel the match in India are gaining momentum when a Union Minister said it should be reconsidered.

Referring to the recent tensions in Occupied Kashmir, Union Minister Giri Raj Singh said the match should be reconsidered as relations between the two countries were not good. India’s Punjab Minister Pargat Singh had said a few days ago that the match should be canceled as the situation on the border was “not ideal”.

“It is very important that we protect humanity and not do anything that would put further strain on relations between the two countries,” he said.

Earlier, Indian captain Virat Kohli, while talking about India’s clashes against Pakistan, added that he had always considered the game as just another game of cricket. Commenting on the expensive tickets, the Indian captain acknowledged the hype created for this special match. “There’s been a lot of hype around this game, so the ticket sales and the demand for tickets and the price of those tickets at the moment are ridiculous,” he said.

However, the star cricketer did not deny the fact that the overall resonance is different.

“Yes, the atmosphere outside the audience’s point of view is different, it’s definitely louder, there’s definitely more excitement in the air,” he said. He said however that as professionals, they must approach it in a normal way.
