Asia Cup: “ The absence of Rohit and Kohli is the reason for the empty stages ” – The daring claim of the former cricket player | Cricket news
The former cricket player and commentator of India, Aakash Chopra, shared his reflections on the reasons why tickets for the next India match against Pakistan in Asia are not sold as quickly as expected. He underlined the absence of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as a major factor. Chopra explained that the two players are huge pumps and their absence has a proportional impact on ticket sales. “When Virat went to play a Ranji trophy match, even then, the stadium has almost filled. Their absence is one of the major reasons why tickets are not filled,” he said.
He also noted that even to water, where cricket fans generally fill the stages quickly, the land remained partially empty. Bangladesh, India and Afghanistan have already played matches in the tournament, but no stadium has experienced full capacity so far. Chopra said that it is not because the tickets are too expensive or because of the water working community find it difficult to attend evening matches on weekdays.

He stressed how Rohit and Kohli make the difference when they play. “If they were present, the participation rate could have been double. Hypothetically, if 5,000 people came earlier, at least 10,000 to 15,000 would have seen if Rohit and Kohli were there. They rarely have the chance to see them in person, so their absence is important,” he added. India will face Pakistan on September 14, Sunday, in Dubai.
