'Match ke baad baat karte hain': Cricket enthusiast dad puts wedding talk on hold for IND vs ENG T20 WC semifinal
In a humorous twist during the India vs. England T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal, a software engineer named Rahul attempted to find a matrimonial match. This incident, shared on social media, has garnered widespread amusement.
Rahul, hailing from Bangalore, initiated a conversation on Shaadi.com, introducing himself and showcasing his impressive salary. He wrote, "Hello, I'm Rahul, software engineer from Bangalore. Saw your daughter's profile on Shaadi.com. Currently at 70LPA CTC and I believe we'd be very compatible."
The potential match's father, Priyanka's Dad, responded with a brief yet amusing message: "Hello, Thanks! I am Priyanka's Dad. Match ke baad baat karte hai (let's speak after the match)." This witty reply, prioritising the cricket match over discussing matrimonial prospects, left netizens in stitches.
The post quickly went viral, with reactions pouring in from amused social media users. One user quipped, "Acceptance or Rejection will depend on the outcome of the match," while another humorously commented, "Cricket > 70L wala daamad," emphasizing how cricket overshadowed the groom's hefty salary.
Several users supported the father's choice, with one stating, "Beti ka byaah toh kal bhi hojaega, semi-final toh aaj hi hoga (My daughter can get married tomorrow. The semifinal won't be postponed)." Another added, "Uncle had his priorities clear."
As it turned out, the father's priorities were well-justified. He witnessed India triumph over England by 68 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal on June 27. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India is now set to face South Africa in the final on June 29 at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
Both India and South Africa have remained undefeated in the tournament, adding an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming final. This year's World Cup winner will make history by becoming the first team to win the title while remaining unbeaten.
