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.

So much, that even metro stations look like this.

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