The battle between fans is quite common during the Cricket World Cup 2023 and it was in full display during the high-profile match between India and England in Lucknow on Sunday.

It was a rare off day for Virat Kohli as he was dismissed for a duck and England's official fan army - Barmy Army - took to social media to taunt the veteran batter.

While India were able to post a modest total, the bowlers were in full form and the duo of Joe Root and Ben Stokes also lost their wickets without scoring a single run.

India's fan army - Bharat Army - wasted no time in coming up with hilarious replies to the earlier taunts. Earlier, England bowlers led by David Willey kept India down to 229-9 despite skipper Rohit Sharma's 87 in a must-win Cricket World Cup 2023 match for the defending champions on Sunday.

Batting maestro Virat Kohli has made one "hell of a record" by smashing his 50th ODI hundred but there is no one getting close to the milestone by a far distance, believes Indian great Gundappa Viswanath. Kohli eclipsed Sachin Tendulkar's 49 ODI hundreds during his 117 against New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal on Wednesday to propel India into the final for the first time since 2011. "Sometime back, I had said that if at all anyone can come closer to Sachin's 100s, it will be Kohli. I didn't expect that he is going to break it," Viswanath told PTI during an interview.
Inda's triumphant performance against New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-final earned the home team plenty of plaudits as they progressed to the final of the tournament.

However, a bizarre remark came from a former Australian cricketer, saying the Kiwis shouldn't have helped India's Virat Kohli when he was suffering from cramps en route to his 50th ODI hundred. New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell has responded to the comment.

The Indian cricket team's match against Afghanistan had a sub-plot with Virat Kohli facing off with Naveen Ul Haq for the first time after their spat in the Indian Premier League 2023.
India star batter Virat Kohli slammed his 50th ODI century on Wednesday to script a new all-time record.

With it, Kohli also surpassed Sachin Tendulkar's previous world record of 49 ODI centuries. After crossing the 100-run mark, Kohli bowed down to Tendulkar, who was sitting in the stands.
