In a historic moment at the Wankhede Stadium, legends from the cricketing and football worlds converged before the India vs New Zealand semi-final. David Beckham, in association with UNICEF, joined Sachin Tendulkar, walking onto the field with the World Cup trophy.
Amidst the excitement, Rohit Sharma’s daughter became a particularly happy fan as she received a special gift from English legend David Beckham. Ritika Sajdeh, Rohit Sharma’s wife, expressed her gratitude by tagging Beckham and thanking him for the Inter Miami jersey adorned with Lionel Messi’s iconic number 10 on the back.
“Thank you for making this little Leo Messi fan very happy David Beckham,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
On the cricketing front, Rohit Sharma provided India with a strong start, scoring a quick 47 off 29 deliveries. However, the spotlight shifted to Virat Kohli’s remarkable 50th ODI century, Shreyas Iyer’s consecutive ton, and Shami’s record seven-wicket haul, propelling India to the finals.
The Men in Blue are now poised to face Australia in a replay of the 2003 Finals at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Meanwhile, Australia secured their spot in the World Cup final by defeating New Zealand in a low-scoring thriller.
The upcoming match promises to be a historic event, with the respective Prime Ministers of India and Australia expected to attend. The celebration will include air shows and various festivities, marking a momentous occasion in the world of cricket.
