Indian stand-in skipper KL Rahul has made it clear that he will not accept any requests for match tickets, even if they are made by family members and close friends. The batter said that right now, cricket is his only priority heading into the marquee event in the country after 12 long years.
The World Cup tickets will be in high demand and the fans will have to secure it as fast as possible to ensure that they manage to see the global cricketing extravaganza from the stands. Cricket enthusiasts from around the world are keen to secure tickets to watch the much-awaited tournament.
Speaking to the media ahead of the game against Australia, KL Rahul made a cheeky moment that he won’t respond to anyone regarding the match tickets even his friends and family, as he wants to be focused more on the game.
“If anyone messages me for match tickets, I am not going to respond, [I am] not trying to be arrogant or rude, just want to stay away from that and focus on the game. This is a message to all my family members and friends, if you’re thinking about messaging me for tickets, please don’t,” KL Rahul said.
The Karnataka wicketkeeper-batter made the most of the opportunity provided to him to announce his brilliant comeback into the game and would look to continue his fine form going into the final two games of the ODI series against Australia followed by the mega event in India.
This Is The Best Way To Challenge Ourselves Before The World Cup – KL Rahul
KL Rahul feels that the Australia series would help the Indian team to prepare well for the ODI World Cup in India, as the Pat Cummins-led side will walk in as one of the favourites to win the championship in 2023. He asserted that it was the best way for a team to challenge themselves ahead of the marquee event.
“I think so, they’re coming into the World Cup as one of the favourites. They’ve got some great players, some we play IPL with and we can see the impact they have. They come to India a lot, they know our pitches and conditions as well as we do”.
“This series will all be about how each team brings their skills to the forefront. So, yes, really excited about the series and this is the best way to challenge ourselves before the World Cup,” KL Rahul added.
The Australian team has arrived in India after completing a highly competitive ODI series in South Africa.
