In a viral post, Goenka expressed the common enthusiasm among cricket enthusiasts who willingly spend significant amounts to witness their country or favorite team in action at the stadium. However, he highlighted a curious irony he noticed, stating, "None of my businessmen friends have paid to get tickets for the #WorldcupFinal; they have all managed to get a ‘pass.’ And that’s where the irony lies—it’s the rich who don’t want to pay!"
Goenka's post resonated widely, sparking discussions on the dynamics of ticket acquisition for high-profile cricket events and shedding light on the peculiarities surrounding the participation of the affluent in such sporting extravaganzas.

The Australian batters face the pressure of a final and the demanding task of chasing down the target. The stage is set for a gripping second innings, and the cricketing world eagerly awaits Australia's response. Stay tuned for the unfolding drama in the Australian innings.
