As the 2024 T20 World Cup gets underway, a group of passionate Nepal fans were spotted visiting the Kedarnath Temple in India to wish for the success of their national team. The Nepalese supporters made the pilgrimage to the revered Hindu shrine, located in the Uttarakhand state, in the hopes of securing divine intervention for their team’s campaign.
Nepal’s journey in the tournament has been a mixed bag so far. They suffered a disappointing 63-run defeat to Canada in their warm-up match, with the absence of star spinner Sandeep Lamichhane, who was denied a visa, proving to be a major setback.
However, the Nepalese team remains determined to make their mark in the competition. They have faced off against the Netherlands 11 times previously, with both teams winning 5 matches each. The upcoming clash between the two sides, scheduled to be the seventh match of the tournament, is poised to be a closely contested affair.
Despite the setbacks, the Nepal fans remain optimistic about their team’s chances. Their visit to the Kedarnath Temple, a significant pilgrimage site for Hindus, reflects the deep-rooted passion and unwavering support the Nepalese people have for their national cricket team.
As the T20 World Cup progresses, all eyes will be on the Nepal-Netherlands encounter, with the Nepalese supporters hoping that their prayers at the Kedarnath Temple will be answered and their team will emerge victorious against their European counterparts.
