This is not the first time Lokesh is seen watching a Cricket Match.
Last month, he traveled all the way to Dubai to watch India versus Pakistan Champions Trophy Match.
Back then, he revealed that he met ICC Chairman Jay Shah and discussed plans for building a stadium in Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, that would surpass the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad in size.
"Jay Shah agreed to the proposal for constructing the country's largest stadium in Amaravati," Lokesh stated.

If Lokesh can pull off something like that, it will be a big boost to the image of Andhra Pradesh and the Government.
If there is a World-class Stadium in Amaravati, it will bring cosmopolitan image to the Capital Region.
The Close Proximity to Vijayawada will also help in many ways.
If Cricket Tourism improves, the economy will also benefit as the celebrities and fans come to Amaravati from all across the country and globe. It will also improve the businesses related to the hospitality industry.
Also, it will also improve the image of Lokesh in Youth.
Young people will identify GenZ leaders who are not into traditional politics always. Leaders going to Cricket Matches and being more casual look cool to the youth. They identify themselves with leaders like that.
Before the ambitious plan of a bigger stadium than the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, there is another unexpected opportunity for Lokesh.
Today there is a news that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) hassent an email to the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), accusing its officials, particularly president A Jagan Mohan Rao, of intimidation, coercion and blackmail for free IPL passes.
According to a report published by the Times of India, the SRH said unable to withstand this blackmail, it is being forced to reconsider holding their IPL matches in Hyderabad.
If this issue escalates, Lokesh can convince to move these matches to Vishakapatnam.
Already Delhi Capitals is hosting some of its matches in Vishakapatnam. Vizag being a Telugu State will also come handy for SRH.
