Cricket World Cup: Where fandom comes with a ‘hefty price tag’!

Key Highlights

  1. Patil sunk Rs 6 lakh overall, including round-trip airfare, a two-night hotel stay
  2. Like the Patils, fans have been required to dig deeper into their pockets
  3. However, the soaring ticket prices are only a small quotient of the overall cost

If I ask you, how far are you willing to go in the name of purest love? Especially when your devotion is immersed in the world of cricket.
