Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal suggests watching Ashes instead of West Indies Vs India
Anupam Mittal, the founder of the famous Indian matrimonial website Shaadi.com made an interesting comment about Test cricket on Sunday. The ‘Shark Tank India’ judge told cricket fans on the social media platform not to waste their time watching the Test match between West Indies and India, instead to watch the Ashes 2023.
Cricket’s longest format is in full swing with India touring West Indies, the Ashes, and Sri Lanka playing against Pakistan. The fans have been enjoying their time with the games. The fourth Test of the Ashes between England and Australia in Manchester, to viewers’ dismay, ended in a draw as rain played a spoilsport in the last two days of the Test. He also shared his admiration for England’s ‘Bazball’ strategy in the format.

England, in his opinion, reinvented the game that they developed 400 years ago. Rain forced the cancellation of the fifth day of the Manchester Test at Emirates Old Trafford. Australia retained the Ashes after a tie at Emirates Old Trafford yesterday. With one more Test remaining, Australia leads the series 2-1.
The last Ashes Test 2023 will take place on July 27 at the Kennington Oval. He further said, “Stop wasting time on Ind/WI & watch the Ashes … England has redefined the game it invented over 400 yrs back.” The Shaadi.com founder stated on the weather in Manchester, “what a bummer (rain emoji) can we order some (sunshine emoji) pls?”.
