After India’s historic victory against Pakistan on Sunday, the country
erupted in celebration. Virat Kohli played one of his best innings in the
T20 World Cup, and UPI transactions spiked during the game. People in India
were so engrossed in the India-Pakistan cricket match that the country’s
universal payments interface (UPI) skipped a beat.
The Bharat Pe UPI transaction volume was up as much as 15 percent at
roughly 10:30-12:30 am on October 23 compared with the level recorded at
9:00 am, indicating a heavy Diwali purchasing rush before the match started
