'Super Fan': Satya Nadella Spotted In Indian Jersey Watching IND vs PAK T20 Match In New York
It was India's second win in as many games while Pakistan succumbed to another loss after a shock defeat against the USA in their opener.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella attended the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match on Sunday at New York's Nassau County Cricket Ground. He was seen donning the jersey of the Indian cricket team.
Entrepreneur Gaurav Jain shared a picture with the "super fan" at the match. "Excited to cheer for team India with the super fan @satyanadella #PakvsInd #t20USA," the post read.
Here are a few responses to the post:
Nadella's love for cricket is well known and he has also invested in Major League Cricket (MLC), the first professional Twenty20 Cricket League in the US. Nadella has said that growing up in India, cricket was one of his "passions" and "playing cricket taught me more about working in teams and leadership that has stayed with me throughout my career".
India Pip Pakistan In Low-Scoring T20 WC Thriller
The latest chapter of the 'greatest rivalry' wasn't high on quality but still provided edge-of-the-seat action as a gritty India, guided by the redoubtable Jasprit Bumrah, went past an imploding Pakistan by six runs in a low-scoring T20 World Cup contest in New York on Sunday.
The Rohit Sharma-led side suffered a mid-innings collapse on a two-paced track to be all out for an underwhelming 119 in 19 overs despite a gutsy effort from Rishabh Pant (42 off 31 balls) after being put in to bat under overcast conditions.
Pakistan, who can oscillate between the sublime and ridiculous, seemed to have the game in the bag needing 48 runs off as many balls with eight wickets in hand.
However, the pace combination of the ever-effective Bumrah (3/14) and Hardik Pandya (2/24) brought India back from the dead with incisive spells that saw Pakistan lose wickets in a heap to end at 113 for seven in 20 overs.
