: If you can judge a tournament by the number of replica tops sold, the Cricket World Cup in India opening this week already has a winner -- home superstar batsman Virat KohliOn the crowded streets outside the world’s biggest cricket arena -- the 130,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium, which will host the opening match between defending champions England and New Zealand on Thursday -- hawkers report a brisk trade.
“People all over Ahmedabad are eagerly awaiting this World Cup,“ said Ayushi Chain, a local organiser at the stadium, adding that Kohli’s presence will attract big crowds including a large “female audience”.The Ahmedabad arena -- nearly a third bigger than the Melbourne Cricket Ground -- will be host to five matches, including the final on November 19.
For the opener, England verus New Zealand, Jogani expects “around 70,000 fans”, meaning the stadium will be just over half full, although tickets are still on sale. “There was a craze when they made their appearance at a city mall,“ she said. “There is excitement among the people, we Gujaratis are crazy about cricket.”T-shirt seller Saurabh, currently offering the Kohli jerseys for 300 rupees , said prices will surge.
