Shubman Gill announced his arrival in the Cricket World Cup 2023 as the youngster slammed a gritty fifty for the Indian cricket team during the match against Bangladesh on Thursday. Gill missed the first two matches of the tournament against Australia and Afghanistan due to illness as he was reportedly suffering from dengue and on his return against Pakistan, he failed to set the stage on fire as he lost his wicket cheaply. However, against Bangladesh, he looked in fine touch as he dominated proceedings against the Bangladesh bowlers and ended up scoring 53 off 55 deliveries. Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's daughter Sara Tendulkar was in attendance at the MCA Stadium in Pune during the match and her celebrations following Gill's half-century have gone viral on social media.

India have now make it four wins out of four games and one more win would virtually put them in semi-finals.

Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli achieved an impossible feat by helping India score 14 runs in just one legal delivery during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against Bangladesh on Thursday. The feat was achieved against Hasan Mahmud during the 13th over of the India innings when Kohli took advantage of the bowler's lack of discipline. Kohli came out to bat after the dismissal of India skipper Rohit Sharma and scored two runs off his very first ball. However, the umpire adjudged it a no-ball and the veteran batter slammed the resultant free-hit for a boundary through mid-on. Unfortunately, it was a no-ball once again and Kohli was awarded another free-hit which he heaved over the long-on fielder for a massive six.
