Big matches of Asia Cup 2025 struggle to fill seats without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma
Meanwhile, the Asia Cup has begun in 2025 UAE, but tickets are still unsold for big matches like India vs Pakistan. Tickets, which usually sell quickly for such a high-profile game, have not seen the expected demand this time.
And former Indian batsman and commentator Akash Chopra believes that the biggest reason behind this decline in the number of crowd is the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
Chopra explains that it is not about expensive tickets or uncomfortable match timing, but it is only because fans want to see their favorite stars in action. If Kohli and Rohit were playing, the crowd would have easily doubled, thousands of people saw them batting.
