The highly anticipated India versus Pakistan cricket match has encountered significant opposition, with fans advocating for a boycott. The match is set to take place on Sunday, September 14, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The calls for a boycott are rooted in the anger over the Pahalgam Attack, which resulted in the loss of 26 innocent lives.
This upcoming game marks the first time the teams will compete since the attack, prompting a wave of criticism. The BCCI secretary, Devajit Saikia, indicated that India is compelled to play against Pakistan due to government policies. He also stated that participating in this match is a key factor in India’s ambition to host the 2030 Olympics.
Public opinion is divided, with some urging a display of sportsmanship by watching the match. However, a majority of individuals are expressing disapproval of the decision to play against Pakistan. Notably, ticket sales for the India-Pakistan match have experienced an unprecedented decline, remaining unsold.
