On social media, Sachin wrote, “The first time I met you in the Indian dressing room, you were pranked by other teammates into touching my feet. I couldn’t stop laughing that day. But soon, you touched my heart with your passion and skill. I am so happy that that young boy has grown into a ‘Virat’ player. I couldn’t be happier that an Indian broke my record. And to do it on the biggest stage – in the World Cup Semi-final – and at my home ground is the icing on the cake.”
India won the toss and chose to bat, a decision that paid off as the team put up an impressive score of 397 runs, losing only four wickets in 50 overs. Virat Kohli (117) and Shreyas Iyer (105) both notched centuries, while Shubman Gill finished unbeaten with 80 runs. The question now is whether the Kiwi team can successfully chase the target of 398 runs. The stage is set for an intriguing match.
