Key Highlights
- Patil sunk Rs 6 lakh overall, including round-trip airfare, a two-night hotel stay

- However, the soaring ticket prices are only a small quotient of the overall cost
If I ask you, how far are you willing to go in the name of purest love? Especially when your devotion is immersed in the world of cricket.
