Cricket World Cup 2023: It was a Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer show with the bat as India posted a massive 397 for 4 in 50 overs in the first semi-final of the Cricket World Cup 2023. Earlier, India won the toss vs New Zealand and opted to bat first in what will be a repeat of the 2019 World Cup semifinal on Wednesday (November 15) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Later on, Mohammed Shami took seven wickets to get India the win by 70 runs.

Rohit Sharma provided the best start to the team, hitting almost every ball on the day. He got out and Shubman Gill took the baton and struck sixes and fours. He got retired hurt soon as he faced issues with the cramps.

But Iyer came in and started connecting the big sixes. Kohli completed his 50th ODI ton, breaking Sachin Tendulkar's record of most hundreds in the ODIs. It will be interesting to see how New Zealand chase it down. It will all depend on how well openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra bat in the chase of 398 runs.

LIVE IND vs NZ: Iyer on Rohit's form

"Rohit sets the template, gives us the starts where we have to just go and carry forward from the base he gives. He is a fearless captain. You can see that in his body language and it's kind of infectious, rubs off on all the players. (On the backing from the management) It's pivotal, coming from the captain and coach. I didn't have a great start to the World Cup. They told me not to worry about the outside noise, we are backing you, so you just got to go out there and express yourself. (About handling pressure) To be honest in pressure situations you tend to get nervous but at the same time it's also fun playing in front of so many people and if you perform they lift you up. (How intense are the net sessions given the quality of the bowling attack) It is definitely intense. We see to it that we play the most difficult bowler. Whenever Bumrah comes with the new ball I face him because you know it's going to be difficult and it helps you for the matches," said Shreyas Iyer for his captain.

Rohit Sharma's performance in the 2023 World Cup so far has provided tremendous confidence for the batters coming in after his wicket.
