Cricket is one of the most entertaining games in the world. It possesses the power to attract fans and keep them engaged. Meanwhile, some fans are taking this opportunity to get engaged in reality. Something similar happened in the recent England Women's vs. Sri Lanka Women's game at County Ground in Northampton.
A man of Indian origin went to the ground to watch the ongoing Sri Lanka Women's Tour of England. In the stands, he took the opportunity to propose to her girlfriend in front of a huge audience. It's worth noting that when this thing happened, a man named Mayank and his girlfriend named Dory were being interviewed by the official broadcasters.
The anchor started with Dory and asked, "How's Your Day Going, Dory? In response, she said, "It's perfect. We love cricket. As the anchor turned to Mayank, he said, "Cricket is in my DNA. I love cricket. I love this ground. I love the Northampton cricket ground so much." Soon, the anchor hinted at Mayank and said, "You have a question to ask. Mayank followed the question, went down on his knees, and purposed for his girl.
Here is the video:

As soon as Dory accepted his purpose, spectators present on the ground started cheering and clapping for the couple. The anchor also joyfully announced the result of purpose as he said, "She said yes. There's no need for DRS on this one. Love is in the air. It's worth noting that it was organised by Mayak with the help of official broadcasters."
India witnessed a beautiful moment too
