Why so much attention on Pak match

Seems like defeating Pak is more important than winning World Cup

No that’s fine because it garners the most eyeballs and is the highest revenue generating match for the board, the stadium, and the broadcaster. So it makes sense to direct all marketing efforts towards making it more exciting for the audience instead of let’s say an India vs England match.

Agreed money trp But we are India against the World, why only Pak getting all celebration. Is Aus NZ not worthy opponents

Because

  • India vs Pakistan matches are rare +
  • There is history attached to the rivalry which is rooted in a whole country’s emotions and not just on performance of the teams.
  • India vs Australia or NZ does not pack the same punch now as most of the players from these teams we see playing in IPL too + bilateral series, hence no novelty seeing them here. (no Pakistani players allowed in IPL, no bilaterals with Pakistan).

Anyone who watches cricket here should definitely see Hasan Minhaj's video on Cricket Corruption... literally eye opener

This is unfair for the other 8 teams. BCCI has been really poor in managing this world cup.

For all the chest thumping Amit Shah and co. do , they do this ?

Especially after such a tragedy happened in Kashmir recently.

It would have been ok if this was the opening game, they didn't do it then and now doing this shitshow .

Because Indians don't have a life and personality outside of cricket, Bollywood and seasonal festivals.

Cricket: Tell me if I'm overthinking

Don't you feel there is inbred, slow simmering rivalry among bowlers of our national team

Not healthy competition, pull each other down rivalry

It was evident in WC final, Shami, Siraj and Bumrah were not putting efforts in saving run...

Cricket World Cup not hyped enough this year?

I genuinely don’t feel like we are hosting a cricket World Cup in our country this year. In 2011, the hype and craze around us hosting was way higher. Stadiums were better filled them for other games apart from Indian games, while I saw ...

Doesn’t opposition performance in the last few matches against India feel kind of unreal? SA has been a strong contender and they losing all wickets in less than 100 runs tells something deeper than a genuine game. India hosts so India w...
