Cricket fans from across Varanasi gathered at the ghats of the ganges to offer prayers invoking India’s victory in Sunday’s T20 world cup final match against New Zealand. Holding photographs of their favourite cricketer and carrying the Indian tricolor, the fans performed special rituals praying for the team’s success. The high-profile India-New Zealand final of the T20 world cup will be played in Ahmedabad on Sunday. While India will look to become the first country to win back-to-back T20 world cups, New Zealand are aiming for their first title in this format. The match is scheduled to begin at 7 pm.
