The World Cup fever is slowly but surely gripping India. This is the first time India will be hosting the ODI World Cup solo. In 1987, 1996 and 2011 they were joint hosts with others like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. We are less than a month and a half away from the tournament opener on October 5 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad between last edition’s finalists England and New Zealand but before that BCCI has made a huge announcement regarding ticket sales for the total of 58 matches, including 10 warm-up fixtures, hosted across 12 prominent venues throughout the nation.
