Drake makes hefty bet on Team India
Drake is known for placing bets on sports matches, be it football, UFC fights, or Boxing matches. Recently, he started betting on cricket matches as well. He placed a bet of $250,000 on Kolkata Knight Riders for their IPL 2024 Final clash against Sunriser Hyderabad. Now, he added another bet on a cricket match and this time it is the iconic India vs Pakistan. KKR ended up winning the match against SRH and Drake made a fortune. If India ended up winning the match against Pakistan, the Canadian rapper would make almost a Million dollars ($910,000).
IND vs PAK Playing XIs
Rain is playing a factor in the India vs Pakistan clash. It caused a toss delay but yet there's no reduction in over. Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bowl first. This game is crucial for the Men in Green in order to keep their chances of reaching the Super 8 alive. However, their confidence must have taken a big hit after the embarrassing loss against the USA. The bad news is that rain returned again after the toss and delayed the match further on.
