When avid cricket fan Lata Mangeshkar fasted for India's victory during 2011 World Cup semis
singer Lata Mangeshkar's love for cricket is no secret and she had her own superstitions like any fan such as fasting for the Indian team's victory during the high voltage World Cup semifinal clash against arch rivals Pakistan in 2011. Mangeshkar, 92, one of the biggest music icons of the country, died on Sunday at a Mumbai hospital due to multiple organ failure, according to her sister Usha Mangeshkar and doctors treating her. She did not eat or drink during the nine-hour nail-biter at Mohali which India won by 29 runs to make it to the final. “I had watched the whole match and I was very tense," Mangeshkar had told PTI in an interview at that time. "Everyone in my family follows some kind of superstition when India is playing. I, Meena and Usha did not eat or drink anything during the match. I was constantly praying for victory and we had our dinner after India won,” she had said. An avid cricket fan, Mangeshkar had watched the 1983 World Cup final, which India won, from the gallery at the Lord's.
