MUMBAI: Team India has descended in England to bring the #CricketkaCrown back and have started off their ICC Cricket World Cup journey with a victory over South Africa.

With a long tournament ahead, Star Sports – the official global broadcasters has sent the team a jar full of soil  #BlessingsFromHomeGround to Team India and wish them the very best for the tournament.

The jar contains soil from the home grounds of all the players representing India where they started their journey with cricket. The jar will remind them that the soil that supported them through their journey to the World Cup will be in the dressing room along with a billion voices chanting “India, India” at home.

Before the start of play today, against Australia, Virat Kohli accepted the jar on behalf of the team from Jatin Sapru, the Star Sports presenter.
