Former Cricketers Criticize Laser Show During India-West Indies T20 World Cup Match

During the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 match between India and West Indies at Eden Gardens, a mid-innings laser show during the drinks break drew criticism from former Indian cricketers Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri. Both expressed concerns that the laser display, occurring at a critical moment with India at 53 for 2, could affect players' eyesight and concentration. They suggested such entertainment might be more appropriate for less crucial matches like IPL games rather than a World Cup knockout stage.
