India and England are facing off in the second semi-final of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 5, 2026. During the Indian innings, the camera showed India’s two T20 World Cup-winning captains, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma, sharing a warm hug.
India was asked to bat first by England captain Harry Broo, who won the toss. Abhishek Sharma failed once again, scoring 7 runs. But Sanju Samson led the way, scoring 89 with 8 fours and 7 sixes. Cameos by Ishan Kishan (39), Shivam Dube (43), Hardik Pandya (27), and Tilak Varma (21) took India to an imposing 253/7 in 20 overs.
MS Dhoni was spotted at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium on Thursday (March 5), watching India's 2026 T20 World Cup semi-final against England. The former India captain is rarely seen on the field, but he was in Mumbai earlier in the day to attend the wedding of Arjun Tendulkar, the son of another India icon, Sachin Tendulkar.
Also present was Rohit Sharma, who led India to the 2024 T20 World Cup win and is the T20 World Cup ambassador as well. The two T20 WWorld Cup-winningIndian captains met each other, and Rohit Sharma greeted MS Dhoni and his wife Sakshi with warm hugs and watched the Indian innings together, often lauding the shots by the Men in Blue batters.
