It’s nice to step into a stadium and get goosebumps… walking with Sachin maybe made it feel even more special: David Beckham

Former football player David Beckham said he had goosebumps when he entered Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to attend the first semifinal between India and New Zealand. He acknowledged that maybe because he was with Indian cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar it felt that much more special to him. “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,” Beckham said speaking on BCCI TV.

Semi-final adds extra pressure but we wanted to do what we’ve been doing: Rohit Sharma | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: As India made it 10 wins in a row and marched into fourth World Cup final, skipper Rohit Sharma was pretty impressed with the all-round efforts of the team but also admitted to having a few strands of pressure in the knock-out game against New Zealand. Riding on Virat Kohli's historic 50th ODI ton, Shreyas Iyer's second consecutive century and a seven-wicket haul from pacer Mohammed Shami, India beat Black Caps by 70 runs in the first semi-final in Mumbai on Wednesday.

‘Hopefully we can hear a pin drop and a bit of silence in Wankhede’: New Zealand spinner Santner before IND vs NZ 2023 World Cup semi-final

India faces familiar foes New Zealand in Wednesday’s semi-final in Mumbai. The Kiwis, who have somewhat become the bogey team in major events for the men in blue, stand in the way of the hosts who eye their first World Cup final since the triumphant 2011 campaign. Rohit Sharma’s side have been in incredible form so far, winning all nine of their group matches, including a four-wicket victory over the Black Caps in Dharamsala. However, New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner believes that if the Black Caps can pick wickets at the start, then it will peg back India and keep the packed house at Wankhede silent. “Hopefully we can hear a pin drop and a bit of silence in Wankhede – then we’re obviously doing alright. We’ll have a look at the pitch and see what happens, but we know how destructiv...
