The BCCI and broadcasters received severe criticism after the decision not to telecast the highly publicized pre-match ceremony for the India vs Pakistan clash in the 2023 World Cup. The ceremony featured renowned artists like Shankar Mahadevan, Arijit Singh, and Sukhwinder Singh. Despite its anticipation, the broadcast did not start on time, leading to confusion. Star Sports later announced the ceremony was exclusively for in-stadium fans, disappointing viewers. The move raised eyebrows, considering the unique attention the India-Pakistan clash attracts in international cricket. Both teams enter the match unbeaten, adding to the anticipation of the iconic clash.
