50 Over Cricket Craze Dying Among Fans?
The opening match of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, featuring England and New Zealand, witnessed disappointingly empty stands at the Narendra Modi Stadium, renowned as the world's largest stadium with over 1,00,000 seats. In response to the noticeable lack of spectators, cricket enthusiasts turned to the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their dismay. Fans lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for its mismanagement of the marquee 50-over event. Former cricketer Virender Sehwag also took to his social media platform to voice his concerns about the underwhelming attendance during the World Cup opener. But is that a sign that the 50 over format is on the decline? Is the 50 over cricket craze dying among fans?
