In a heart-warming gesture, Afghanistan's opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz was spotted helping the needy people on the side of the street in Ahmedabad at 3 am. The video of Gurbaz went viral on social media with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) -- the team he plays for in the Indian Premier League -- also sharing the clip. The Afghanistan star could be seen giving money to the needy people, who were sleeping on the side of the street. "From working tirelessly to raise money for the victims of the Herat Earthquake in Afghanistan earlier this month, to this act of kindness in a foreign land - you inspire us all.

The Cricket World Cup 2023 league stage is over, with India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand qualifying for the semi-finals. Among the 10 teams who participated in the tournament, India were the only ones to have not lost a single match. As Cricket Australia picked the 'team of the tournament' following the league stage of the campaign, Indian stars understandably dominated. Virat Kohli was named the 'captain' of the team as the likes of Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja joined him in the 12-member team.

The Cricket World Cup 2023 stage is set, with the 4 semi-finalists of the tournament decided. India and South Africa were the first ones to book their spot in the last 4 while New Zealand scraped through to claim the 4th and the final spot in the knockouts. All four teams produced promising displays in the league stage, where they took on the 9 other teams, one at a time. India were the only ones to enter the semi-finals without losing a single match. But now, even a single defeat would be enough to knock them out of the tournament.
