GOOGLE CEO MEETS HIS FAVORITE INDIAN CRICKET STAR, SHARES PHOTO

Cricket fans were in large numbers for yesterday's World Cup match between India and England. Among the many fans at Edgbaston Google CEO Sundar Pichai was also seen in the crowd.

According to NDTV reports, the BCCI posted an image of Pichai posing with master blaster Sachin Tendulkar on its social media pages. Excited as ever, Pichai had earlier said at an event organised by US-India Business Council that he is backing India and England to reach the final of the World Cup.

Pichai has also admitted of dreaming of being a cricketer during his growing up years and idolised Sunil Gavaskar and later Tendulkar, NDTV further reported.

In yesterday's match, England won the toss and chose to bat first, where Jason Roy was reunited with Jonny Bairstow after a brief period in the sidelines due to injury. They took England off to a flier of a start. The openers put up 160 runs in 22 overs before Roy fell to Kuldeep Yadav thanks to a sharp catch from Ravindra Jadeja.
