India seek temple blessings before England semi
Members of India’s cricket team visited Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple this week to offer prayers ahead of their T20 World Cup semi-final against England.
The visit came days before the high-stakes knockout clash, with players seeking blessings before the crucial match. “It’s a moment to stay calm and focused before a big game,” a team source said.
Support staff accompanying the squad echoed the sentiment. “Faith and preparation go hand in hand for many players,” an official noted.
India head into the semi-final after a strong tournament run, with the encounter against England expected to decide a place in the World Cup final.
