In an unexpected turn of events, German football legend Thomas Muller has declared his support for Team India in the first semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Muller, known for his prowess on the football field, shared a video donning the blue jersey of the Indian cricket team, expressing his enthusiasm for the upcoming clash against New Zealand.
> “Look at this, @imVkohli. Thank you for the shirt, #TeamIndia! Good luck at the @cricketworldcup,” tweeted Muller, a FIFA World Cup winner with Germany in 2014.
A Unique Gesture: Team India’s Gift to Muller
The blue jersey worn by Muller is not just a symbolic gesture; it is a gift from Team India to the German World Cup winner. Complete with Muller’s name and the number 25 on the back, the jersey represents a unique connection between football and cricket, transcending the boundaries of sports.
New Zealand had halted India’s dominant run in the ICC Cricket World Cup four years ago, securing a victory over the Virat Kohli-led side in the rain-affected semi-final at Manchester. As the two teams prepare to face each other once again in the semi-finals, the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai sets the stage for a riveting encounter.
Wankhede Stadium: A Venue of Cricket Glory
The chosen battleground for the first semi-final holds special significance for Indian cricket. The Wankhede Stadium witnessed India lifting their second ODI World Cup title under the captaincy of MS Dhoni in 2011. As the current squad gears up for the crucial match, the historic venue adds an extra layer of nostalgia and anticipation.
Thomas Muller’s unexpected support for Team India injects a fresh dose of excitement into the cricketing spectacle, creating a unique fusion of football and cricket fandom on the global stage.
