‘Bhaiyya-bhabhi toh kanjoos nikle’ – Fans react to Virat Kohli, Anushka Sharma’s hilarious World Cup 2023 message to family and friends

The Indian cricket team are preparing for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, scheduled to commence on October 5. The opening match of this prestigious tournament will feature the 2019 World Cup finalists, England and New Zealand, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. However, numerous fans were left disappointed as they were unable to secure match tickets due to their rapid sell-out.

Meanwhile, former India captain Virat Kohli has taken to social media with a humorous message ahead of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. In a lighthearted post, Kohli urged his family and friends not to pester him for match tickets on Wednesday, October 4. Kohli said that as the grand tournament is approaching, he’d like to let all his friends know not to send him requests for tickets and instead enjoy it from their homes.

“As we approach the World Cup, I would humbly like to let all my friends know to not request me for tickets at all through the tournament. Enjoy from your homes pls.” Kohli wrote in his Instagram story.

Bollywood veteran actress and Kohli’s wife Anushka Sharma reshared his story and said, “and let me just add… please don’t request me to help if your messages get unanswered. Thank you for your understanding.”

India to play their first match against Australia

Known for his competitive spirit on the field, Kohli displayed his playful side off the pitch. His amusing take on the often tricky issue of ticket requests showcases his ability to balance the pressures of his role with a good sense of humour, undoubtedly resonating with fans and fellow players alike as they gear up for the highly anticipated tournament.

However, the Indian cricket team surely require Kohli’s contribution in the upcoming World Cup. However, it’d be interesting to see how will he perform. India will play their first match of the tournament against Australia on October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium is known for helping the spinners more so we should expect India to play with 3 spinners who are likely to be Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravichandran Ashwin. On the other hand, Australia have Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell.
