Notably, the tickets for this much-anticipated match between India and Pakistan in T20 World Cup have already been sold out.

In 2017, Sharma had won hearts by arranging the air ticket for a Sri Lankan fan Mohamed Nilam, who had to return home to visit his ailing father. Apart from tickets, Sharma also gave him some money and promised to visit Nilam's place in Colombo.

Sharma, who later went to Sri Lanka to lead Team India in the Nidahas Trophy, didn't forget his promise and paid a visit to Nilam's family in Colombo.
