WATCH: Fans from Varansi perform Havan ahead of India’s match against England
Indians’ love for cricket is unparalleled. It is a sport that transcends all social, economic, and religious barriers. Cricket is more than just a game for Indians; it is a way of life. When the Indian Cricket Team is playing, the entire country comes to a standstill. People from all walks of life gather together to watch the match and cheer on their team. Cricket matches are often accompanied by street celebrations, where people dance, sing, and set off firecrackers.
Indians are known to go the extra mile to show their support for the Indian Cricket Team. Some fans perform pujas and keep fasts to pray for the team’s victory. Others travel long distances and spend a lot of money on tickets to attend matches. In the latest, fans from Varanasi performed a Havan to seek divine blessings for India ahead of the England clash.

In a video circulating on social media, fans can be seen waving Indian flags and holding pictures of Indian cricketers during a Havan ceremony, illustrating the deep connection that the Indian team has with its fans. The Indian team has been in scintillating form, winning all of their five matches so far, many of them convincingly. They will look to continue their winning streak when they face a deflated England side at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Sunday.
Pride is on the line for Buttler and Co.
England, on the other hand, find themselves in a dire predicament, having won just a single game, against Bangladesh. This has not been the tournament that the defending champions would have hoped for, and their situation has worsened with each passing match. Their batters have failed to fire, and their bowlers have been inconsistent throughout. England will be desperate to salvage some pride and keep their slim chances of qualification alive on what is expected to be a hot and dry day in Lucknow. However, it will be a daunting task against the Indian juggernaut, which is flying high at the moment. Fans will be hoping for an England revival to make for a blockbuster Sunday.
