The much-awaited ICC Cricket World Cup is all set to begin from Oct.6 in India. After a successful G20 Summit, now India is ready to roll its red carpet for the World Cup. Excitement is palpable everywhere in India and in the UAE also. Cricket fans from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have already started searching for a place in the UAE to watch the World Cup.  Many Indian  fans are also planning to visit India to watch few matches.

Lots of my friends in Dubai have already booked their seats to watch the World Cup. This is indeed a golden opportunity for fans to see their stars in action.  All participating team will converge in India for the event. Pakistan team will also play in India after a long time and that will be very interesting. Meanwhile, Team India looks very solid. All the players of Indian team look in great touch. I feel this is the best time for India to repeat the history after 2011.  The way Shubham Gill, Surya Kumar Yadav, K.L.Rahul, Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav are performing clearly shows that India can go much ahead in this tournament.  They all looking in sublime form.
