As mentioned, the ICC World Cup 2011 has a special place in the hearts of Indians, and with 2023 being the World Cup Year the enthusiasts would be hoping that scenes that were prevalent in 2011 will repeat this year. Moreover, the irony is the coming world cup will also take place in India. The WC 2023 is scheduled to start in October and will likely continue till the end of November.
