The India vs Pakistan clash in the ICC World Cup 2023 took place on 14th October at Narendra Modi International Stadium in Ahmedabad. It was a sea of blue there as the stadium was jam-packed with Indian spectators. The fans were behind the Men in Blue and they put great pressure on the Babar Azam-led side.
While there was utter chaos on every run and wicket taken by India, the stadium also witnessed pin-drop silence during the game when Pakistan scored runs and took wickets. This was because hardly any supporter from Pakistan was present in the stands as they weren’t granted visas by the Indian embassy.
The ICC World Cup 2023 game also witnessed a section of the crowd that was pathetic and mocked Pakistan players. When captain Babar Azam came for the toss, he was booed by fans in Ahmedabad and also a video emerged on social media in which Mohammad Rizwan was subjected to religious chants.
