Fans were disappointed that there was no opening ceremony for the ICC World Cup 2023. But now it seems that fans may get to see the World Cup opening ceremony before the India vs Pakistan match on October 14.
According to media reports, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is going to organize a musical ceremony for the fans in Ahmedabad during the India-Pakistan match. During this time there will be light show and dance performances, but the center of attraction in this program will be singer Arijit Singh. World Cup golden ticket holders, legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, and superstar actors Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan have been invited to this opening ceremony.
The cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan is one of the most popular sports matches across the world. The clash between these two teams on the cricket field attracts the attention of the whole world. India has the upper hand in the matches held so far in the ODI World Cup and India has won all seven World Cup matches held so far between these two teams.
According to reports, a musical ceremony will take place just before the start of the India-Pakistan match on October 14. Gujarat Cricket Association Secretary Anil Patel said that golden ticket holders will be present in the stadium to watch this match. Before the start of the World Cup, BCCI had handed over golden tickets to Sachin Tendulkar, Rajinikanth, and Amitabh Bachchan.
Many VIPs are likely to arrive for the India vs Pakistan match. The Bollywood Stars event on that day will start at 12:40 p.m. and end at 1:10 p.m. Children will serve as game mascots and accompany the teams to the field. 20-25 Pakistani media outlets are also coming for the India-Pakistan match. Patel said that he took permission for this and everything has been arranged for him. Some officials of PCB are also likely to come for this match.
