New Delhi . In India, cricket is not a game but a passion, but in this matter also the people of Delhi have a different opinion. Since the stage is of World Cup and only one match of Team India has come in Delhi’s share, hence the excitement level of Delhiites is bound to be high.

The heat of Delhi is infamous all over the world, but how can it come between cricket fans and their favorite cricketers. We are not saying this out of thin air, the testimony of this is given by the 9th match of the World Cup-2023 between India and Afghanistan, which is being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

The scorching humidity and intense afternoon sun have worsened the condition of the people of Delhi. But, Indian cricket fans ignored these things and came in large numbers to support their team against Afghanistan.

A DDCA official told IANS that they are hopeful that the number of fans will increase further by the evening.

Meanwhile, a young cricket fan said, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s hot or rainy or whatever. When it comes to Team India, we will be there to support them.”

Another fan said, “Who cares about the heat? Let’s cheer for India.”

Earlier, when the tournament had started, memes were doing the rounds after fewer people turned up at the Narendra Modi Stadium to watch the first match between defending champions England and New Zealand.

However, as the tournament progressed, it seemed to be gaining momentum and attracting more people to the stadium.

Talking about the match, Afghanistan won the toss and decided to bat first against India.
