It has been more than a decade since India hosted an ODI world cup and the BCCI was ready to promote through any means necessary.

    Gavaskar responds to the initiative

    Indian Cricket Veteran Sunil Gavaskar praised the BCCI for initiating the Golden ticket program by writing “The decision by BCCI secretary Jay Shah to honour persons who have done yeoman service in their respective fields is a terrific one. As of writing, the one and only Amitabh Bachchan and Sachin Tendulkar have been given a golden ticket to witness the World Cup matches,”  in his column for Sportstar.

    Gavaskar also suggested that the Golden ticket should also be given to the two great captains of the Indian team because of whom India was responsible for getting the world cup in 1983 and 2011 namely Kapil Dev and Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Along with them the ticket should also be given to the ISRO chief S. Somnath and some sports personalities like Olympic Gold medalist Neeraj Chopra, Table tennis maestro Sharath Komal and Table Tennis star Rohan Bopanna.
