As Virat Kohli arrives in Hyderabad for an IPL match between Bangalore and SRH, ticket demand has surged sharply. Social media reports say several MLAs and MPs, including cabinet ministers, have been pressuring stadium authorities to allocate multiple tickets
Ticket desks in Hyderabad aren’t the only ones feeling the heat tonight.
Virat Kohli is arriving in the city, and with him comes a kind of demand that has reportedly pushed the ticket situation to its peak. The IPL match in question is between Bangalore and SRH, set to be played tonight in Hyderabad.
Social media reports say that several MLAs and MPs. including cabinet ministers. are pressurising the stadium authorities to allocate multiple tickets to their near and dear ones. The messaging around the match has intensified as the game approaches. with pressure building to secure seats for what many are treating as a high-stakes. high-intensity clash between Hyderabad and Bangalore.
The reported involvement of public representatives—and the presence of what the same reports describe as an active recommendation operation—has become part of the story itself. pointing to the scale of the craze surrounding Kohli. In Hyderabad. Kohli is described as nearly worshipped. and the claim is that no other player draws the same level of admiration in the Telugu city.
Tonight’s stadium atmosphere, according to the accounts circulating online, is expected to reflect that devotion, with fans accumulating in big numbers at the venue as Kohli’s presence turns the match into an event larger than the usual IPL fixture.

MLAs and MPs pressuring for tickets is wild.
So like politicians getting VIP seats for Kohli? I mean I get it he’s popular but still. Ticket desks “feeling heat” sounds like corruption to me.
Wait it says Bangalore and SRH but then has RCB in the tags? lol. But anyway if cabinet ministers are pushing for multiple tickets then of course regular people get screwed again. How is this different from any other event with a celebrity.
Kohli really is treated like a god in Hyderabad apparently. I’m not even surprised politicians are involved, that’s just how these countries do stuff. Also “active recommendation operation” sounds like some PR thing, like they recommend their friends to get tickets through “connections.” Hope they at least publish who asked for what.
