[Saba Sports News] In a recent social media post, Rohit Sharma’s daughter was seen wearing the Inter Miami jersey of Lionel Messi, a gift from David Beckham. Beckham, who attended India’s first semifinal match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, presented the jersey to Rohit Sharma. He visited India representing UNICEF. The post, shared by CricCrazyJohns and Rohit’s wife Ritika Sajdeh, shows their daughter Samaira donning the gifted jersey.
In the match, India, led by Rohit Sharma, comfortably outplayed New Zealand, winning by 70 runs. India’s impressive batting first led them to a score of 397, with notable centuries from Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer. Kohli surpassed Sachin’s record of 49 ODI tons, while Shreyas notched up his third century of the tournament. Shubman Gill contributed a fifty, and KL Rahul played a brisk cameo.
New Zealand’s innings saw a crucial partnership between Daryl Mitchell and Kane Williamson, but Mohammad Shami’s outstanding bowling, including a two-wicket over, swung the game in India’s favor. Despite Mitchell’s resistance, India secured victory and a place in the final. Shami, with seven wickets in the match and a tournament-leading 23 wickets, received praise from PM Modi for his exceptional World Cup performance.
