Cricket fans in India began their day on January 30 on a high as India U-19 team beat Pakistan by a massive 203 runs and entered the finals of the ICC U-19 World Cup. Since it was an Indo-Pak clash and that too a world cup semifinal, a large number of Indian spectators came to the Hagley Oval in Christchurch to see the Indian colts hammer their arch-rivals. Meanwhile, a newlywed couple was also spotted in the stadium who proved why India vs Pakistan games have always been so important and interesting.
A picture was shared on the official Twitter handle of the ICC Cricket World Cup where a couple could be seen sitting together in the lawn area of the venue and enjoying the game. But the thing which attracted everyone was the banner they displayed. It was written, “ON OUR HONEYMOON BUT CRICKET IS MY FIRST LOVE“.

Well. it was a very nice gesture from them as they spared time from their honeymoon to witness an epic clash between these cricketing nations in New Zealand.
