If there is Abhishek Sharma at one end of the crease and Vaibhav Suryavanshi at the other, then there would be no cricket fan who would not want to see them playing. Especially when the match is also T20. Is what Abhishek and Vaibhav did in Wellington hidden from anyone? The fourth T20I between India and New Zealand is to be played in Auckland on 30 October. There is news that the stadium where this match will be held i.e. Eden Park is housefull. For the first time, such a large number of cricket fans are going to reach the stadium to watch the match that the record of the last 11 years is going to be broken.
11 year old record broken in Eden Park
New Zealand Cricket itself has informed that Eden Park in Auckland is housefull. He told that all the tickets for the match on October 30 have been sold. Now selling all the tickets means that Eden Park with a capacity of 41000 is going to be packed. The big thing is that for the first time after 11 years, such a crowd will reach Eden Park together to watch an international match. The last time such a large crowd of spectators gathered at Eden Park for the semi-final match of the 2015 World Cup.

The magic of Abhishek and Vaibhav?
Now the question is, is it the magic of the game shown by Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi in Wellington, which has drawn the spectators to the stadium for the fourth T20I? This could be a big reason. But apart from this, the overall performance of Team India in the entire series is also a big reason.
Team India’s excellent performance in the series is a big reason
Team India won the first T20I played in Christchurch by chasing its biggest run in this format. So in the second T20I played there, Tilak Verma and Nitish Reddy played brilliantly, which captivated the people. After Christchurch, the way Team India captured the series in Wellington was amazing.
Abhishek Sharma and Vaibhav Suryavanshi created such a storm in the powerplay that all the records in T20I history were destroyed. Watching both of them bat against New Zealand, it seemed as if the fans had watched an action-packed movie and not a T20I match in Wellington. It is obvious that now they would be expecting a similar explosion in Auckland too, that is why Eden Park is house full.
