As the much-anticipated ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 is about to kick off in India on Thursday, October 5, star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma have made a humble request to their friends and well-wishers: please don’t ask for tickets.
Virat Kohli, one of India’s most prominent cricketing figures, took to Instagram to convey his message. In a story posted on the social media platform, he expressed his desire for a distraction-free World Cup experience.
In his Instagram story, Kohli wrote, “As we approach the World Cup, I would humbly like to let all my friends know to not request me for tickets at all through the tournament. Enjoy from your homes pls 😁.”
Anushka Sharma, who is known for her unwavering support for her husband, reposted Kohli’s message on her Instagram. She added her touch of humor and practicality, stating, “👌😂and let me just add … please don’t request me to help if your messages get unanswered. Thank you for your understanding 🙏🫶🏼☺️.”
According to reports from Cricbuzz, Virat Kohli had briefly left the Indian team camp in Guwahati due to a personal emergency. This unexpected departure had raised questions about his availability for the World Cup.
However, Kohli was spotted at the Mumbai airport late in the evening on Tuesday, suggesting that he was on his way to rejoin the Indian squad. His prompt return has relieved fans and clarified his commitment to the tournament.
India’s preparations for the World Cup were challenging. Both of their warm-up matches were washed out due to rain. Despite this setback, the team’s batters have found form, and the bowling unit looks sharp.
India is set to begin their World Cup campaign with a match against Australia in Chennai on Sunday, October 8. The clash promises to be an exciting start to their journey in the tournament.
