Even as cricket crazy fans on either side of the Indo-Pak border wait with bated breath for the India vs Pakistan T20 group stage match scheduled to be played in Dharamsala on 19th March, an unfortunate development has dampened their spirits.

Blame it on politics of nationalism or a political stunt by the opposition, Himachal Pradesh government doesn’t seem to be ready to provide the security detail to the touring Pakistan team, which has cast a shadow over the match. On the one hand, backroom talks about a change of venue are going on, while on the other HPCA President, Anurag Thakur is in talks with various political camps to ensure that Dharamsala remains the venue.

Amidst this stalemate, a man who has now become a household name has come to the rescue and proposed an innovative solution. Yes, freshly released from jail on bail, Kanhaiya Kumar, the now famous JNU student who is a wide supporter of Indo-Pak relations has shown interest to ensure that the Indo-Pak encounter isn’t called off.

Speaking exclusively to this The UnReal Times correspondent (his first ever interview after the bail), Kanhaiya said, ”India versus Pakistan is an important match not just from the cricketing point of view but in general for the public as well. I am already in talks with BCCI and have suggested them to shift the venue from Dharamshala to JNU campus sports ground. Yes, our students will provide the security to Pakistani cricketers and ensure that the game goes on. Don’t worry, our ground is big enough for an international game!”

The Pakistan Cricket Board is delighted with this suggestion. PCB chairman Shahryar Khan said, ”We are delighted that the venue has been changed from Dharamshala to JNU campus sports ground. This is a historic moment. Thanks to the open minded students of JNU, for the first time, Pakistan will have more than a few supporters in the stands in a game played on Indian soil!”

Delhi CM, Arvind Kejriwal has also expressed happiness and as per reports he has already booked VIP tickets and shall be seen sitting between Kanhaiya Kumar and Umar Khaled.

Rajdeep Sardesai is ecstatic with this development as well. The veteran street-fighter journalist said, ”I will do a live coverage of the match from the boundary line and hopefully it will be a day when I finally beat Arnab Goswami in TRPs!”

The battle is on. The battlefield is ready and now there’s just one question on everyone’s lips which was voiced by AAP senior leader, The Ashutosh through his twitter account: ”Will the BCCI answer? Will the Modi answer?”
