The tickets went on sale yesterday (Thursday) for India vs Australia, India vs Bangladesh and India vs Afghanistan through BookMyShow.
A day prior, pre-sale tickets for two of India’s warm-up matches also went on sale, with India vs England selling out within hours, but tickets for the warm-up game against the Netherlands faced a slower uptake, according to reports.
However, some fans were left disappointed by long queues and voiced their frustrations at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and BookMyShow.
