Among the cheering crowd was none other than former India captain Rohit Sharma, who arrived at the iconic venue with his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, to support the Indian women in their historic chase for glory.

Dressed casually in a white T-shirt and black cap, Rohit first entered the hospitality box before settling into the stands, soaking in the electric atmosphere alongside fans and celebrities alike. The stadium was buzzing, with tickets sold out well in advance, and the presence of cricketing legends like Sachin Tendulkar, who had the honor of carrying the Women’s World Cup trophy onto the pitch, added extra glamour to the high-profile clash.
