The ICC ODI World Cup final 2023 countdown has reached a fever pitch, especially for cricket enthusiasts eager to witness India's showdown against Australia in the grand finale at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19 (Sunday).
However, fans face unexpected hurdles in their efforts to be part of this historic moment. Basic accommodations now come with a hefty price tag of Rs 10,000 per night, while luxury hotels are charging close to Rs 1 lakh for a night's stay in the city.
Flight prices have also soared, showing a 200-300 per cent increase for round-trip tickets to Ahmedabad. Flights from Delhi on the eve of the final now cost Rs 15,000.
