Zomato shared a witty joke on Instagram, making a link between the IPL Final and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup that is set to begin next month (June 2024). It specifically mentioned ace Australian cricketer Mitchell Starc, who plays for KKR. Starc has already been announced as part of the Australian squad for the upcoming World Cup. Zomato's post read, "Congrats Kolkata. Pls feed sooooo many sweets to Starc, he fails the fitness test for the World Cup". In the caption, it wrote, "Time to win the World Cup".
