IND vs PAK World Cup 2023: Fans express displeasure as BCCI reveals pre-match performance of Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, Sukhwinder Singh

They revealed that the pre-match show will feature renowned artists Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhwinder Singh to set the stage for the match.

Fans are looking forward to a high-octane clash between India and Pakistan on October 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. But just a day before the much-awaited match, the Board for Control Cricket in India (BCCI) made a surprise announcement on its official X handle (Twitter). They revealed that the pre-match show will feature renowned artists Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhwinder Singh to set the stage for the match.

Fans criticise BCCI for IND vs PAK match ceremony

This announcement received a lot of comments and mixed reactions from fans. While some fans were excited about the musical prelude to the cricket match, others expressed their disagreement. Some criticized the decision, calling it entertainment and calling it “drama” that detracts from the intensity of the cricket competition. The diversity of opinion added to the anticipation and debate before this heated meeting.

What did BCCI announce for IND vs PAK?

In response to the BCCI’s announcement of a pre-match musical show, several cricket enthusiasts and fans expressed their views. Many users argued that organizing a special show exclusively for this match could be seen as trivializing the participation and efforts of the other teams in the tournament.

 

How fans reacted

They contended that while the rivalry between India and Pakistan is undoubtedly intense, the World Cup is a platform where all teams should be treated with equal significance. Some fans highlighted that there was no opening ceremony or special show before the inaugural World Cup 2023 match between England and New Zealand on October 5, questioning the necessity of such an event for the India vs Pakistan encounter.

These sentiments emphasized the importance of maintaining fairness and equality in the treatment of all participating teams, ensuring that the spirit and significance of the tournament remain at the forefront.

Here is what BCCI shared on X Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhwinder Singh will be performing live at 12:30 PM on October 14.

Let’s take a look at some of their reactions:

“Ok BCCI, but why only in the #IndiaVsPakistan match? Why not in the opening ceremony?” questioned a thoughtful X user. “This is a disgrace to all other teams. Cancel it, we don’t like it. See it just as another game,” voiced another dissenter. “This is so shameful,” chimed in a third.

“Are you guys trolling all other teams that their matches, their participation doesn’t matter and the event is all about India vs Pakistan? It’s not the opening match, neither is it the final! Why so much drama and fuss about it? It’s just a match like we had with Australia and Afghanistan! I just wonder after all this if India loses, what do the BCCI gain out of it? Treat a cricket match as a cricket match, and respect all nations! Today is your day, tomorrow it might be someone else’s,” expressed a fourth, emphasizing the need for fair treatment.

“Bruh. Read the room. Read. The. Room,” commented a fifth, indicating a sense of disconnect with the decision. “Well done… the performance will ruin the whole taste of the real cricket game. Why do we need to have such performances in the midst of the #ICCMensCricketWorldCup2023 matches? Isn’t it unfair to other teams? #IndiaVsPakistan match is getting unnecessarily overhyped,” wrote a sixth, raising concerns about fairness and unnecessary hype surrounding a specific match.

These reactions underscore the diverse perspectives and concerns of fans, reflecting the delicate balance of maintaining the spirit of competition and equal treatment for all teams in a major sporting event.
