T20 World Cup: With over 35,000 fans cheering, screaming and jumping up and down to celebrate every boundary scored by the Indian batters against England, the Wankhede Stadium looked like an overflowing cauldron on Thursday as it hosted the second semifinal of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

A venue that has seen India script history by winning its second ODI World Cup in 2011 and a momentous occasion like Sachin Tendulkar's last Test match, the stadium was bubbling with excitement as the Indian batters blazed boundaries against the English bowlers.

Sanju Samson was greeted with a big cheer, and the wicketkeeper-batter did not disappoint the faithful fans with a brilliant display of power-hitting. The fans enjoyed all of his shots, and as India crossed each milestone to post a massive score, the excitement kept growing to a crescendo as the Indian innings progressed.
