This is how Twitter reacted
I remember the 2011 CWC in which the IND vs WI match was on the day of Holi.
Not sure about the thinking behind it but many people in the comment have mentioned that Diwali is not celebrated that much in Bengaluru.— Srijan Das (@srijann25) August 9, 2023
In the 1987 Reliance World Cup, India had played Australia on Diwali 22nd October at New Delhi. It's idiotic but nothing new.

Keep thinking of everything- ground availability, weather, occasion, etc etc and you are done with organising a WC.
I think this takes a lot more than just sitting and tweeting 👍— Mohit Bararia 🇮🇳🏏 (@MohitBararia7) August 9, 2023

I remember last time we had a match in Bangalore during deepavali was way back during 2013, where Rohit scored his iconic 200 against Australia. What a match it was and that Faulkner innings 👌👌
