"Paisa barbaad"- Top 10 funny memes after reports emerged that India vs Pakistan World Cup match might be rescheduled
BCCI is reportedly rescheduling the highly anticipated World Cup clash between India and Pakistan in Ahmedabad, according to The Indian Express.
As per the schedule released last month, the two neighboring nations were set to lock horns on October 15 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Security agencies have advised BCCI not to proceed with the match on that date as it is also the first day of Navaratri as it might be a turbulent task for the police to make adequate security arrangements for both.
"We are mulling the options that we have and a decision will be taken soon. We have been told by the security agencies that a high-profile game like India vs Pakistan, for which thousands of travelling fans are expected to reach Ahmedabad, should be avoided since they will be stretched because of Navratri," a BCCI official told The Indian Express.
The BCCI is reportedly looking to advance the game and organize it on October 14. They are likely to announce the new date for the fixture on July 27.
The development came as an unpleasant shock to the fans, who had already made travel and lodging arrangements for the match between India and Pakistan when the schedule was announced in June. The flight tickets and hotel room tariffs were exponentially increased due to exceptional demand from the fans visiting Ahmedabad to view the match.
A few fans let out their frustration on the situation by sharing memes on the matter. Here are some of the best memes:
