Indian cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma survived a close DRS call off the bowling of Mark Wood during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against England in Lucknow on Sunday. It was a tense moment for India as they had already lost the wickets of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer with the score reaching the 50-run mark. While the on-field umpire gave him out, the review showed that the delivery from Wood was missing the leg stump and the crowd's happiness was clear from the intensity of their cheers. Rohit's wife Ritika Sajdeh was also in attendance at the Ekana Stadium and her reaction following the incident has gone viral on social media.

The likes of Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Shreyas Iyer, etc. were all intrigued as the fielding coach named KL Rahul the winner in a unique manner.
Two of the finest batters in the world, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were truly ecstatic as the Indian cricket team took a giant step forward towards securing a semi-finals spot in Cricket World Cup 2023. Up against Enlgnad in Lucknow, India didn't do as well with the bat as they would've hoped but compensated well with the ball.

The Indian cricket team is going through a purple patch at the Cricket World Cup 2023. In an absolute domination over other teams, India have won their first six matches. The wins have stood on some solid show by the Indian top order and the bowlers. So far, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been the top two run-scorers of the Indian cricket team. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team looks almost set for a semi-final berth with the form they are in.
The battle between fans is quite common during the Cricket World Cup 2023 and it was in full display during the high-profile match between India and England in Lucknow on Sunday. It was a rare off day for Virat Kohli as he was dismissed for a duck and England's official fan army - Barmy Army - took to social media to taunt the veteran batter. While India were able to post a modest total, the bowlers were in full form and the duo of Joe Root and Ben Stokes also lost their wickets without scoring a single run. India's fan army - Bharat Army - wasted no time in coming up with hilarious replies to the earlier taunts.
After narrowly missing out on his century last week, which would've put him on level terms with Sachin Tendulkar as the batter with the most number of tons, India batter Virat Kohli was expected to deliver a good show against England in Lucknow on Sunday. However, the India star had a rare bad day as he was dismissed for 0. His stay at the crease was limited to just nine balls during the Cricket World Cup 2023 match against England in Lucknow. This was Kohli's 34th duck in international cricket, the same as Tendulkar, who played 664 match during his illustrious career. Meanwhile, the game against England is Kohli's 513th international match.
