The Indian cricket team has arrived in Lucknow for their upcoming match against England in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup on October 29th. Led by Rohit Sharma, the Indian team is entering the game with unbeaten confidence, currently leading the World Cup 2023 standings with 10 points and a strong net run rate of +1.353.
After their match against New Zealand in Dharamshala, Team India decided to prolonged their stay at the picturesque destination to cool some time off. Notably, the side arrived on Wednesday and reached their hotel somewhere in the evening. Check out the video here:

In their match against New Zealand, India had an impressive performance with both bat and ball. They began by restricting New Zealand to 273 runs, thanks to Mohammed Shami's excellent performance with a five-wicket haul, supported by Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj, who took crucial wickets.
India's batting was equally strong, with a 71-run opening partnership between Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Despite losing a few wickets, Virat Kohli's masterful 95 not out and Ravindra Jadeja's contribution helped India secure a four-wicket victory with two overs to spare.
The team is currently in great form and will look to continue their winning streak when they face England in Lucknow.
