'Can't Loot Fans': Spectator Raises Concern Over ₹200 Water Bottle Sold At Ahmedabad Stadium During IND vs NZ T20 WC Final; Video

An X user named Kartik Kannan recently shared his experience of attending the India vs New Zealand final of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. In a detailed post addressed to the Gujarat Cricket Association, he praised several improvements at the stadium while also offering suggestions to enhance the overall fan experience.

Kannan began his post by appreciating the efforts made to ease crowd management at the stadium entrances. He noted that the queues at Gate 1 were handled far better this time compared to his experiences during matches in 2023 and 2025. According to him, visible improvements had been made to streamline entry and reduce waiting time for spectators attending the World Cup final.

One of the aspects he particularly appreciated was the cleanliness of the stadium facilities. He commended the organisers for maintaining toilets with round-the-clock cleaning, noting that his friend had a positive experience using the women’s washroom during the final. However, he also pointed out that conditions had not always been ideal, recalling a messy situation at the basement toilet near Bay 242 during a South Africa match earlier in the tournament.

Despite acknowledging these improvements, Kannan also raised concerns about the high price of drinking water inside the stadium. He claimed that bottled water from Bisleri was being sold at nearly ten times the regular price. According to his post, a vendor in the N Stand was selling a bottle for around ₹200, which he said negatively affected the overall fan experience.

Kannan’s post has sparked discussions online about stadium facilities and fan comfort, highlighting how major sporting venues can continue improving the match-day experience for thousands of supporters attending high-profile events.
