Viral Post Claims Seats At Hyderabad Stadium Still Dirty Two Days Before Start Of World Cup 2023

<p>The ICC Men's <a title="World Cup 2023" href="https://ift.tt/GCFToEj" data-type="interlinkingkeywords">World Cup 2023</a> is all set to get underway on October 5 (Thursday) with Englan taking on New Zealand in the tournament opener. However, less than 48 hours before the start of the marquee event, a post on social media site X (formerly Twitter) has gone viral. The post made by a user who claims to be one of the spectators present at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad for the Pakistan-Australia warm-up game on September 3 (Tuesday), has shared a picture revealing the condition of the seats at the venue which will host its first World Cup match on October 6 set to be played between Pakistan and Netherlands.<br /><br />When the user realised that the post had actually gone viral with some doubting the authenticity of the claims made in the post, the user then shared a video showing live action from the match along with the visuals of the dirty seats. However, he later clarified that the seats were restricted to a particular stand and there is time for them to be cleaned up before the actual game. For the rest of the stadium, new seats have been installed already.<br /><br /><strong>Take a look at the series of posts made by the user here:<br /><br /><br /></strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Nothing much has changed in Uppal stadium.
