Rohit Sharma’s strengths have become weaknesses; can he turn it around at Cuttack in second ODI against England?
Local cricket enthusiasts in Cuttack are fiercely proud of their Barabati Stadium’s legacy, but a discrepancy exs between their perception of recent international cricket activity and the official records. As Ramesh and his local cricket team finished their riverbank match, the topic of the upcoming one-day international (ODI) at Barabati Stadium arose. Ramesh, a self-proclaimed Barabati Stadium regular, confidently asserted, “Six years? No, no. We have hosted a lot more matches since then. 2019 was definitely not the last game.” He even boasted of attending every game at the stadium for the past decade.
This sentiment is echoed local media veteran “Munna saab” inside the stadium. Dismissing the suggestion that this is the first ODI at the venue since 2019, he stated, “Kya baat kar rahe ho bhai? There have been so many international games here since then. The last one was in 2022…”
However, official records paint a different picture. Since the last ODI in 2019, Barabati Stadium has hosted only one international match – a T20 International. This disparity highlights the strong local pride and perhaps a touch of wishful thinking surrounding Barabati Stadium’s status as a regular host of international cricket. (READ MORE)
