India has entered the World Cup finals after beating New Zealand at Mumbai’s Wankhade stadium. In addition to Virat’s record knock, Mohammed Shami took seven wickets. Also notable were appearances by football legend David Beckham and actors Rajinikanth and Ranbir Kapoor. Speaking on BCCI TV, Beckham said, “I think it’s nice to step into a stadium and get goosebumps, and I felt that as soon as I walked into this stadium. There’s something about it, maybe it was because I was walking with Sachin, and maybe that made it feel even more special. But you feel the energy within the stadium even when there weren’t that many people at the start.”
He also shared pictures from the Wankhade stadium and wrote about the electricity that he felt: “What an incredible atmosphere… Thanks to @unicef and @sachintendulkar for making me so welcome at the Cricket World Cup These fans have such amazing energy #CWC23.”
India will play with Australia in the final, scheduled to take place on Sunday.
