Dharmik Sankhavara, a diehard cricket fan from Ahmedabad, and his six friends sat in a room with their laptops and phones on August 29. Tickets for the keenly awaited India-Pakistan match in the 2023 World Cup were scheduled to go on sale at 6 pm. They knew it won’t be an easy task, but they were prepared in the hope that luck would favour them. They had a strong internet connection, around 11 devices and most importantly, they had logged in well in advance.
