In response, Sehwag pointed out that England have reached the semi-finals just once in the last eight editions. “Not in 1996, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2023 .

After Afghanistan's landmark triumph over defending champions England, captain Hashmatullah Shahidi expresses his hunger for more victories in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. It was a historic day for Afghanistan cricket as they defeated one of the tournament favourites England to register only their second win in World Cups.

It has been an interesting journey for Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq when it comes to fan support in India during the Cricket World Cup 2023. The pacer was taunted constantly during the initial games of the competition as a result of the on-field spat he had with Virat Kohli during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Chants of "Kohli Kohli" filled the stadium every time he came to bowl and even on social media, his every move was scrutinised. However, the two cricketers put an end to their spat as they hugged each other during the India vs Afghanistan game and the mood among the Indian cricket team fans has made a complete U-turn. During the match against England in New Delhi on Sunday, the crowd was firmly behind Afghanistan and Naveen received loud cheers from them throughout the game.
