The much awaited semi final 1 of the 2023 ICC World Cup in Mumbai kicked off today and it truly was a star-studded affair. Apart from just the cricketers who played today’s game, we saw quite a few non-cricketing stars in attendance, including other sportsmen, actors, politicians, and much more. The glamour levels were at a all-time high at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

Firstly, Virat Kohli’s wife and Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma was out there right from the start, supporting her husband. Now pregnant with her second child, she was also seen supporting the former Indian captain in the last group stage game against Netherlands, where he scored a fifty too. Many of her colleagues from Bollywood were also present at the CWC 2023 Semi Final 1.

They were seen enjoying the game, clapping at all milestone moments, and also engaging in conversations among themselves. Along with them was Malhotra’s wife Kiara Advani, who was soaking in the sun in Mumbai, as India batted first in this day night game at Wankhede.

The India vs New Zealand game was also graced by an international celebrity, and one of the biggest legends in football history. We’re talking about David Beckham who is a UNICEF ambassador along with Sachin Tendulkar, and the two of them were seen taking a stroll out before the start of the IND vs NZ semi final, where Beckham indulged in some footy with Virat Kohli as well.

Sara Tendulkar cheers on Shubman in semi final 1
Not for the first time in this CWC 2023 tournament, Sara Tendulkar was present once again to cheer on her rumoured boyfriend in Team India opener, Shubman Gill. The cameramen would pan their cameras towards her every time he scored a four or six, which means quite a few times during the first 15 overs. Gill struggled with an injury and retired out later on 79*.

Kohli pushed on after his fifty and marched towards a record 50th ODI century, which would become history as no one else in cricketing history has got there before him. In the meantime, the list of celebrities at the Wankhede kept growing as we saw South Indian actor Venkatesh Dagubatti sitting by himself and enjoying the action. Venkatesh was recently seen in Netflix series, Rana Naidu.
Venkatesh also posted a selfie with Sir Viv Richards to his Twitter account, the latter being invited to spend some time on-air in the commentary box as well. For more updates on the CWC 2023 and other cricketing stories from around the world, remember to always stay tuned to ReadScoops.com.
