Team India is through to the finals of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. The country is currently celebrating their victory over New Zealand in a semi-final match with many nail-biting overs. India managed to score almost 400 runs in the first innings, and the Kiwis gave a good chase. The Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, where the match took place, was packed with Indian supporters. Several celebrities, including Rajnikanth, Ranbir Kapoor and international football star David Beckham, were present. Also watching from the sidelines was cricketer Hardik Pandya. Having injured his ankle during a match versus Bangladesh last month, Pandya had to be excused from playing any further in the tournament.
