Team India 4 Interesting facts including hotel change: Before the T20 World Cup final, everything ‘Sam-Dam-Dand-Bhed’ is being tried in the Indian camp for victory. To erase the memories of the 2023 defeat, BCCI has not only changed the team’s hotel but is also preparing to play on a flat red clay pitch. While Ricky Martin and Falguni Pathak will entertain the spectators outside the ground, a special train has been arranged from Mumbai for the fans. From superstition to pitch secrecy, Team India does not want to leave any stone unturned this time.
The Indian team is adopting every trick to win the T20 World Cup trophy for the third time.
Ahmedabad. A special support member of the Indian team sought God’s blessings everywhere the team has played for victory in every match of the ICC T20 World Cup. BCCI is also leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the Indian team wins the T20 World Cup trophy for the third time. Not only this, before the semi-finals, the Indian team started its practice 45 minutes late in Mumbai to avoid the ill effects of the lunar eclipse. BCCI has changed the team’s hotel before the final in Ahmedabad.
Although no one will speak openly about it. But it is important to mention that when the team stayed in the earlier hotel, it had lost two big matches (2023 ODI World Final and this year’s Super Eight against South Africa). After losing to South Africa two weeks ago on a black soil pitch, the team management may choose a red soil pitch for the final.
The broadcaster has not installed a stump camera on any pitch yet
There are three types of pitches in Motera Stadium – red, black and a mix of both. Wankhede Stadium has only red clay pitch and considering India’s excellent batting, they may have to choose a red clay pitch. The track has not been decided yet. This is also clear from the fact that the broadcaster has not yet installed a stump camera on any pitch. A particular pitch was carefully observed by the local curator and BCCI CEO Hemang Amin was also watching it. Later, only that pitch was covered and four nearby tracks were also closed.
Martin, Falguni Pathak and Sukhwinder will entertain around 1 lakh viewers
Before the final, Puerto Rico’s Grammy Award winning singer Ricky Martin, Dandiya queen Falguni Pathak and Bollywood singer Sukhwinder Singh will entertain around 1 lakh spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The ICC has organized a music program before the toss and the spectators can get a chance to dance to Martin’s famous song ‘Un do Tres’ (One Two Three) Maria.
Western Railway will run a special train for Ahmedabad on the match day
In view of the rush of fans going to Ahmedabad for the final, Western Railways will run a special train from Mumbai to Ahmedabad on the day of the match. This will make the travel easier and cheaper for the fans because the flight fare to Ahmedabad is already very high.
