In anticipation of the highly awaited clash in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, some Indian fans are calling for a boycott of the Indo-Pak matches.
This sentiment arose following the warm reception of the national cricket team in Ahmedabad ahead of the match. On platforms like X, certain Indian users expressed their disagreement with India’s hospitable treatment of the Pakistani team.
The hashtag #BoycottIndoPakMatch started trending on X, with comments urging a collective stance. One comment read: “Let’s use #BoycottIndoPakMatch, and make a difference for once. BCCI is too blinded by money and the government too is incompetent (like it or not).”
Many Indian netizens drew connections between the game and the political tensions between the two nations, stating, “Enemies are always enemies.” Some users also directed their comments at BCCI officials, and there were calls to exclude artists from the celebrations planned for October 14 before the match.
Amidst this, the Pakistani cricket team experienced an incredibly warm reception in India as excitement builds for the thrilling showdown in the ICC World Cup 2023 between Pakistan and India, scheduled for October 14 in Ahmedabad.
BCCI and Jay Shah please cancel this welcome ceremony of Ch*tiya Pakistan in Ahmedabad.
We love our country and our Soldiers.
Don't force our Artists to perform infront of Pakistanis players.#BoycottIndoPakMatch#boycottIndiaVsPak #Shame #shameonbcci #INDvsPAK #INDvPAK speed… pic.twitter.com/fFJ46SlC0q

Let's use #BoycottIndoPakMatch and make a difference for once. BCCI is too blinded by money and government too is incompetent (like it or not). In the end, it's the common man as always who is responsible for defending his and country's reputation. #ShameOnBCCI pic.twitter.com/NhQyAuT5wk
