The Cricket World Cup 2023 is quite crowded. For now, four teams have confirmed tickets for the semi-finals of the World Cup. India became the first team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023 after going undefeated in the group stage. Then South Africa qualified as the second team. As the last two teams, Australia and South Africa got the opportunity to play in the semi-finals. The first semi-final between the first and fourth teams will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, where Team India will face New Zealand. But before this match came the big update. A big change will be seen in the first semi-final match. The captaincy of the Indian team will be changed and the responsibility will be given to Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli Will Lead?
Rohit Sharma is unopposed in this World Cup as the captain, the Indian team won 9 out of 9 matches in the group stage and captain Rohit Sharma was the main driver of India’s performance. India and New Zealand are set to face each other tomorrow, but there is a big update ahead of tomorrow’s match. Indian team captain Rohit was forgotten by Star Sports, The India vs New Zealand match poster shows Virat Kohli’s face instead of Rohit’s. Rohit as captain may have been forgotten by Star Sports, which is why Kohli is pictured with Kane Williamson.
In my knowledge, Rohit Sharma is the captain of Indian cricket team, and Kane Williamson is his counterpart.
But, @StarSportsIndia will use Virat Kohli’s photo in the preview for #INDvsNZ semi-final because they are obsessed. And, honestly, as an Indian cricket lover, I find… pic.twitter.com/ZROgg9Io8J
