Preview: Two countries that competed for cricket's greatest trophy four days ago will be back on the field to play some more. Agreed, it's in a different cricket format in an entirely different setting on the East Coast of India. Agreed, it's a largely different set of players, with only nine here out of the 30 who were at the World Cup final. Agreed, it's a different broadcaster who will be bringing the pictures live. But, in the end, the same set of eyes will tune in to watch. There's never enough cricket. Not in this part of the world.
That they hold their cricket dear is evident when you step inside the venue for the first T20I between the sides in Visakhapatnam. Standing by the Colonel CK Nayudu statue, there's a pylon commemorating the first Test match this ground hosted in 2016. Step inside the administrative building and there's an Honours Board not just for the best performers but also for every match that the venue hosts. Talk to the people rushing around in last-minute preparations and they can't stop gloating about how India vs Australia on Thursday is a "sell-out".
Last weekend, thousands of offline tickets went up for sale and flew off the shelves in minutes according to local reports. Yes, sometimes it can feel like there's too much cricket but the vastness of India accommodates it with aplomb and asks for more of it. For instance, Visakhapatnam is one of the 53 international grounds in India and it's more than happy to see some cricket after missing out on hosting the World Cup. Hyderabad, perhaps a more well-known cricket destination and one of the ten World Cup venues, didn't host an India game. Eden Gardens hasn't hosted Australia in a Test since the epic match in 2001. And Mumbai, arguably the home of Indian cricket, has witnessed only two Tests in a decade.
That's the kind of appetite India's infrastructure has for cricket. And we haven't even spoken about the fans yet, 1.25 million of whom scanned their tickets at the turnstiles to watch World Cup games. The 2023 edition, in a nutshell, was the most attended and most viewed ever. Like ICC Chair Greg Barclay put it, this was the "biggest Cricket World Cup ever." But look around Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium and you'd be forgiven for thinking that the World Cup is still on.
Here in Visakhapatnam, it doesn't matter that a World Cup final was played four nights ago. It doesn't matter that a World Cup final was lost by India four nights ago. It doesn't matter that the visiting Indian side doesn't have a Virat Kohli or a Rohit Sharma. What seems to matter is there's cricket in town after the silence of the World Cup and it's perhaps time to make up for it.
