MUMBAI: Unbeaten India passed their first real test in the World Cup in the semi-final against New Zealand on Wednesday (Nov 16) and the hosts will hope that the win over their bogey team will make them battle-hardened for the final.
Former England football captain David Beckham, who was in attendance as India beat New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium, described his meet with iconic Sachin Tendulkar as "special". Beckham was one of the star celebrities at the Wankhede Stadium to witness India's World Cup semi-final clash against New Zealand. Beckham met Sachin as well as players from the Indian and New Zealand teams before the beginning of the match. He was also spotted having a chat with stalwart batter Virat Kohli as well as former cricketer Ravi Shastri.
Team India put up a brilliant all-round display against New Zealand in their Cricket World Cup 2023 semi-final match yesterday, to win by 70 runs and seal their spot in Sunday's final. India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first, a move that worked well in India's favour. Making the most of the batting-friendly conditions, the likes of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer posted tons to take the team's score to 397 runs. As the cricket world praised the Indian team, former Pakistan cricketer Sikandar Bakht sparked a controversy with his bizarre claim about the coin toss during India's games.
Following his team's 70-run win over New Zealand in the semifinals of the ICC Cricket World Cup, Indian middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer has said that the backing from coach Rahul Dravid and skipper Rohit Sharma has been pivotal for him and he faces Jasprit Bumrah in the nets for preparation. Mohammed Shami's seven-wicket haul and Virat Kohli's record 50th ODI century were the highlights as India secured a 70-wicket win over New Zealand in the semifinals of the Cricket World Cup at Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday.
India are on the cusp of history. One more win and the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team will win the the ODI World Cup 2023. If India win the final on Sunday, it will be the third ODI Cricket World Cup for the side. Following a 70-run win over New Zealand in the semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said his side was a little sloppy on the field. He also lauded Kiwi batters Daryl Mitchell and skipper Kane Williamson for their 181-run partnership.
The knockout stages of the Cricket World Cup 2023 got underway on Wednesday as India squared off against New Zealand in the first semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium. Ahead of the match, star India batter Virat Kohli caught up with former Real Madrid and Manchester United footballer David Beckham, who also paraded the Cricket World Cup trophy with batting great Sachin Tendulkar. Taking to Instagram, Beckham posted a video where he can be seen exchanging a couple of one-twos with Kohli.
Virat Kohli scaled the ‘Mount 50' on Wednesday, and former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly had little doubt that the batting star has many more miles to traverse in his career. Kohli made his 50th ODI hundred during the World Cup semifinal against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium, going one ahead of his idol Sachin Tendulkar. "It will take a lot of beating to go past this and he's not finished yet. It's a phenomenal achievement," Ganguly said during an interaction with reporters at the Eden Gardens.
Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma provided an explosive start to his side but missed out on his half-century during the Cricket World Cup 2023 semifinal against New Zealand on Wednesday. Rohit looked completely in control against the Kiwi bowlers and was able to slam 47 runs off just 29 deliveries with the help of 4 fours and 4 sixes. It finally took a sensational catch from Kane Williamson off the bowling of Tim Southee to end his innings but not before he handed India a solid advantage at the start of the match. Wife Ritika Sajdeh was disappointed with his dismissal and her reaction has gone viral on social media.
