The CEO of the matrimonial site Shaadi.com and one of the investors on Shark Tank India, Anupam Mittal recently stirred controversy with a tweet related to the
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. The tweet, posted just a day after the Indian cricket team's loss to Australia in the World Cup final, appeared to be a mix of consolation and surprise, stating, "World Cup loss se one thing has become clear.
Match fixing in India happens only @ShaadiDotCom."
In the final match, Australia defeated India by 6 wickets, prompting a wave of social media posts praising Team India's performance. While many Indian fans shared messages of consolation, some CEOs, including Anupam Mittal, expressed their sentiments about the defeat in a rather unique manner. Social media users joined in with humorous comments, with one saying, "Shaadi.Com par Lifetime ka match fix hota hai," and another exclaiming, "Give that guy a raise who quoted this! GIVE HIM A RAISE!" A third user humorously mentioned "24/7 fixing."
Among the expressions of disappointment, there were also positive messages from fans. One user wrote, "Dear Team India, Thank you for teaching us that partnership is everything, that there will be ups and downs, that you can lose but still win hearts."
Despite a challenging start, the Australian team, struggling at 47/3, gained momentum with the arrival of Travis Head at the batting front. The partnership between Head and another player resulted in Australia achieving a six-wicket victory, securing the coveted trophy for the sixth time in their illustrious history.
