Every part of the nation has been gripped by the heat of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023. Despite the buzz surrounding the tournament being at an all-time high, there have been several occasions when the game’s stadiums have been very empty throughout the matches. The main event is currently under way. Many commentators spoke up to call attention to the empty seats during the tournament’s season-opening match between England and New Zealand.
On Wednesday, October 11, when India played Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, there were also empty seats to be discovered. Speaking of the same, Michael Vaughan, a former English captain, went up on the ‘X’ platform to voice his discontent with the current crowd situation. Inquiring about the vacant seats during Team India’s Delhi match versus Afghanistan, Michael Vaughan expressed his concern.
“Why are there so many empty seats in #Delhi for the India Game!??? #INDvsAFG,” Vaughan tweeted on his ‘X’ handle.

Harbhajan responded to his post by asking Michael Vaughan if he was watching the game or the vacant seats.
When Harbhajan Singh, a former Indian spin master, saw his tweet, he wasted no time in correcting the English legend. Due to the game taking place on a working day and the heat in the mornings, the stadium may have been empty. As the day wore on, the Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium was packed to the gills with spectators who had come to cheer on the Indian team as they won their second match of the tournament that evening.
Are those vacant seats or people watching the game? On Vaughan’s article, Harbhajan Singh tweeted.
In a thrilling victory over Afghanistan, Rohit took the initiative for India.
