Mumbai: With Mumbai being the home of Bollywood the Wankhede stadium VVIP stand will be bursting with celebrities today.
Almost all of Bollywood has decided to watch the final with their families, except Amitabh Bachchan.
Bachchan believes if he watches the match, India will lose. During the semi-final, when his whole family watched, he closed himself in his room only checking on the score.
Aamir Khan has arrived from Mohali. Another superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, who skipped the semi-final not wanting to give additional burden to the security men in Mohali, will also be in the stands.
Film actor Rahul Bose, who is a cricket buff and has watched India's matches in Nagpur, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Mohali, has a ticket.
So many stars are expected the Mumbai Cricket Association is considering a Bollywood section.
The 3,000 Pakistan fans who had purchased tickets hoping their country would be in the final have decided to sell them.
Hotels are allegedly helping sell them on the black market.
It seems they would rather go shopping than watch India play Sri Lanka.
The teams arrived at the stadium surrounded by bullet-proof police patrol vans. The non-stop sirens forced everyone to close their ears. The government has declared today a holiday.
Meanwhile, some suggested Harbhajan Singh is in poor form because of the absence of Australian batsman Andrew Symonds with whom he has had skirmishes previously. A volunteer felt Singh should be given a picture of Symonds.
A journalist said Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal be reminded of the importance of the media after access to players was denied.
Indian President Pratibha Patil and Sri Lankan counterpart Mahindra Rajapakse will watch the final, creating a security headache and a problem finding enough seats for their entourages.
