Empty Stands Haunt India vs Bangladesh Champions Trophy 2025 Match. Lalit Modi Says "Irrelevant..."
The lack of spectators continued to haunt the Champions Trophy 2025 as the match between India and Bangladesh in Dubai saw a huge number of empty stands on Thursday. There was a lot of criticism following the lack of fans during the tournament opener between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi but things did not improve in the second game as well. The commentators were left surprised by the lack of supporters in the ground for the match and social media was filled with pictures of empty stands with only a few sections completely full. Lalit Modi, the first chairman of Indian Premier League, took to social media to express his views and questioned whether it is time to scrap the One-Day Cricket format.
