There are very few things that bind India like cricket does (nothing, actually, who are we kidding?).

So, as India plays the World Cup semi-final against new Zealand today, the entire nation is behind them with unconditional support and prayers.

The Gods are being remembered for the semi-final challenge as the World Cup fever has gripped everyone in the nation.

World Cup is no joke and neither are we treating it as one. Let’s do this!
