Cricket, it is said, is a way of life.
And at the 2019 ICC World Cup, the world has congregated on English and Welsh turf to celebrate the gentleman's sport.
Thousands of fans have flown into England to support their respective countries and added to this are hundreds of journalists who have also made their way to the land of Queen Elizabeth II to report back to their home countries on what is happening at cricket’s showpiece event.
However, two unique reporters have decided that with hotel prices expected to soar and with rooms expected to be taken up quickly as well, they will rent a mobile home and drive around the country to cover the matches.
India nationals Bharat Sundaresan and Gaurav Joshi are covering the World Cup. Sundaresan works for internet-based cricket website Cricbuzz while Joshi a freelancer. They also have their Youtube channel, 'World Cup on Wheels' and they are getting a lot of stories while driving around the two host countries.
They have rented the RV for around 4000 pounds (TT$37,000) for the six-week period and are very comfortable according to Sundaresan.
"Yes, we said to ourselves with the rooms in England being so small and although with the prices and availability it was better to get the mobile home and drive to the grounds,” Sundaresan told Guardian Media.
“In this way, we are able to drive to the matches, park somewhere in the vicinity and get our work done.
"When we are through with that we can hop over to an English pub and get a good beer and relax, as we can move whenever we want."
Sundaresan is the cook on the tour and uses the electric and gas-powered stove in the RV, or motorhome as many refer to them, to make his favourite meals. The RV is equipped with a kitchen, two beds and a toilet and bath facility.
"Yes, people ask us do we have toilet facilities and we tell them yes. The only issue is that after 15 minutes you run out of water in the bath. However, we fill up and move again.”
The duo makes full use of the vehicle as well and often do interviews from inside the vehicle as they move around from venue to venue.
Joshi added that it has been quite a journey.
"We have parked at campsites and really enjoyed the fact that we are living in a mobile home for six weeks. It is something that can probably get to you, but thankfully it hasn't gotten to us just yet,” he said.
“We have been busy working and also we spend a lot of time looking around. We would come into the RV to sleep and then drive to another venue. We are doing our shows labelled World Cup on Wheels and we have been having a fantastic time."
