The World Cup is just a day away. All the teams are gearing up and excited for the mega event to start. With the World Cup this time in India they are the hot favourites to win the marquee tournament. Team India's warm-up matches got washed out because of rain. The team has left Thiruvananthapuram and will travel to Chennai for their World Cup opener against Australia.
The World Cup will return to India after almost a decade and after England, India is the second nation to host the World Cup as a single nation. The demand for tickets is at its peak with fans still waiting to get some tickets and watch their favourite team play in the tournament.
Ahead of the tournament former India skipper Virat Kohli has uploaded a story on Instagram saying not to ask for tickets for the World Cup and sit back at home and enjoy the game. Kohli made it clear to his friends not to ask him for ODI WC tickets.
I would humbly like to let all my friends know to not request me for tickets: Virat Kohli
In the Instagram story he said, "As we approach the World Cup, I would humbly like to let all my friends know to not request me for tickets at all through the tournament. Enjoy from your home pls." Not only the former skipper other players also have received requests from friends and extended family members for tickets ahead of or during major tournaments.
Kohli will want to win the coveted trophy and end the Men in Blue's decade-long title drought since 2013. He has scored 612 runs in 16 matches averaging 55.64 alongside 3 centuries and 2 fifties. Anushka Sharma, his wife, replied cheekily note to Kohli's message and told their friends to not reach out to her in case her husband did not answer their texts. She captioned, "And let me just add ... please don't request me to help if your messages get unanswered. Thank you for your understanding." There are rumours about the couple that they are expecting the birth of a second child.
Here's how fans reacted:
