The fans are all set for the exciting match between India and Pakistan which is scheduled for October 14 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Just a day before the match, BCCI announced on X that Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan and Sukhwinder Singh will be performing in the pre-match show. The tweets alongside the cricket board drew a flurry of comments from fans, with many slamming the idea and even calling it a ‘drama’.

What else did netizens say?
X users shared that organizing a special show just for the India-Pakistan match ‘trivializes’ the participation of other teams. Others pointed out that the show was ‘unnecessary’ as there was no opening ceremony ahead of the inaugural 2023 World Cup match between England and New Zealand on October 5.
What did the BCCI share on Xu?
Check out the BCCI tweets announcing that Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan and Sukhwinder Singh will perform live at 12:30 PM on October 14.
Netizens were quick to share their opinions and took to the comment sections of tweets to express their disapproval of the upcoming music event.
Check out some of the reactions to BCCI’s announcement:
“Ok BCCI but why only in #IndiaVsPakistan match? Why not at the opening ceremony?” X user asked. “This is a shame for all the other teams. Cancel, we don’t like it. Look at it as just another game,” added another. “This is so embarrassing,” joined a third.
“You guys follow all the other teams that their matches, their participation is not important and the event is all about India vs Pakistan? It’s not the opening game, it’s not even the final! Why so much drama and fuss about it? It’s just a match like we had with Australia and Afghanistan! I just wonder after all this if India loses, what does BCCI gain from it? Treat a cricket match as a cricket match and respect all nations! Today is your day, tomorrow can be someone else’s,” expressed the fourth. “Bruh. Read the room. Read. The. Room,” commented the fifth.
“Well done… the performance will destroy the whole flavor of the real game of cricket. Why do we need such performances in the middle of #ICCMensCricketWorldCup2023 matches? Isn’t that unfair to other teams? The #IndiaVsPakistan match is getting unnecessarily hyped,” wrote a sixth.
