On twelfth October, the Pakistan cricket group arrived in Ahmedabad forward of their match with India within the ongoing ICC World Cup. A video of the Pakistani group being welcomed by dancing Gujarati women, fashionable Bollywood songs and a few ‘extra’ flourish of balloons and flowers throughout went viral on social media.

The visuals of a rousing, extravagant welcome to the Pakistani group didn’t go down effectively with most social media customers.
“This is disgusting! Girls dancing and performing to welcome Pakistan team! As if giving them visa to come here to play because of an ICC event excuse was not enough, they are now trying to make a spectacle out of it. All for what, BCCI? Hype? Money?” posted one person.

Another person Roshan Rai shared that whereas all different groups had been welcomed with simply bouquets and a clap, Pakistan group has been given a particular welcome as a result of the BCCI is trying ahead to hype the match for financial positive aspects.
This is the Cricket group of Pakistan being welcomed in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
All different groups in Ahmedabad had been welcomed simply by a bouquet and a clap, however since Pakistan vs India match is getting cash to inns, BCCI and others in Ahemdabad, they’re being welcomed by baloons and… pic.twitter.com/IPFSDSXMBr

Another fashionable person Mr Sinha wrote that whereas Pakistan indulges in homicide of Indian troopers and civilians frequently, the BCCI is shamefully rolling down purple carpets and going the additional mile to offer ‘special’ therapy to their group.
“Just a few weeks ago Pakistani terrorists killed our 3 soldiers & have killed thousands of soldiers-civilians till date, always dream to break India into pieces & we are giving Pakistani cricketers a grand welcome? Garba, Aarti n all, that too in Gujarat”, he mentioned.
Just a number of weeks in the past Pakistani terrorists kiIIed our 3 troopers & have kiIIed 1000’s of soldiers-civilians until date, all the time dream to interrupt India into items & we’re giving Pakistani cricketers a grand welcome? Garba, Aarti n all, that too in Gujarat?
Seriously @BCCI? pic.twitter.com/m2ejoD07Y8

“Next time when someone gives you the argument like “but soldiers are fighting on border,” present them this video of BCCI underneath Jay Shah welcoming the Pakistan cricket group in India”, posted one other person.

Another X person requested what’s the level of not having a bilateral collection with Pakistan if the BCCI is so invested on offering particular welcomes to the Pakistani group anyway.
Jab itna sab kar lete hai to biletral collection karane mei kya dikkat hai

The reactions to the dancing welcome come amid the experiences that only for the India-Pakistan match within the Narendra Modi stadium, the organisers have deliberate a particular occasion the place Bollywood stars will carry out. This type of ‘special event’ has not been there for some other match. And the BCCI didn’t even have a gap ceremony forward of the ICC World Cup.
BCCI planning for “Special Ceremony” the place Many Bollywood stars🌟✨ will carry out forward of #INDvsPAK match🏏.
Is this not disrespect to all different groups which have come to play #ICCWorldCup2023 in 🇮🇳?
First the Welcome dance in #Ahmedabad and now this👀.#CWC23 #CWC2023 #INDvAFG… pic.twitter.com/K9uwJz9CX0

This VIP therapy to the Pakistani group and particular preparations for only one match have irked many followers.
When there is no opening ceremony, it’s disgusting that there can be a “special ceremony” for the India-Pak sport. It is insulting to each different group. When you are the host, each group is equal for you – Netherlands can be as essential as Pakistan. This reeks of “VIP” tradition.

“It is insulting to every other team. When you’re the host, every team is equal for you. The Netherlands is also as important as Pakistan”, Hardik Rajgor posted.
The India-Pakistan match is scheduled on Saturday, 14th October in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium.
It is notable right here that there is no such thing as a affirmation as to who had organized the welcome occasion, the BCCI or the lodge the place the Pakistani group are staying. The group is staying on the Hyatt Regency and the welcome occasion occurred on the lodge when the group walked in.
