The ICC Men's World Cup 2023 is all set to get underway on October 5 (Thursday) with England 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.

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.

Take a look at the series of posts made by the user here:

 

Nothing much has changed in Uppal stadium. Only some window dressing and spectator comfort still not taken care of in full.#worldcup2023 pic.twitter.com/RiPyeRsfEn

HCA, it seems, didn’t have enough time to replace all the chairs before the World Cup. Bt they shud hv got the old chairs cleaned up before the match. The rest of the facilities in the stadium are excellent and no one should have any doubts about hosting capacities of India. 2/2
