Yet matches don’t always result in money. Virat Kohli entered the Adelaide cricket ground on October 23, 2022, and stunned the crowd with his outstanding performance from 3.30 PM to 5.15 PM IST in a match that advanced India to the T20 World Cup semifinals. When compared to the hours before the match, the overall amount of online payments that day, while India held its breath, decreased by roughly 40%.

The main influence on Indians has always been movies, followed by cricket. Several moviegoers abandoned their OTT and other screens at home to return to the theatres for Shah Rukh Khan’s eagerly anticipated Pathaan. The movie made over ₹1,000 crores worldwide, which contributed to a large 70% increase in multiplex transactions over the daily norm.

The amount spent on eating out has climbed 2.5 times in FY23 compared to FY22, while transaction volumes have increased 162%, according to data processed through Ezetap, Razorpay’s offline payment platform.
