Cricket World Cup Trophy:

All roads on the 19th of November 2023 led to the Narendra Modi cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. The rush to witness a historic Indian cricket win had people paying abnormal prices for tickets, hotels and transport. One still fails to understand the enormous wealth that is so easily disbursed to get a seat in the stadium. The economics of it all is so baffling.

The stage was all set for an Indian win and plans were put in place, not only for a spectacular and extravagant display off the field, but also for, one gathers, a roadshow arranged after an Indian win.
