Team India on India's National Anthem: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya reveal how they feel

Last month, before the India-Pakistan clash in the group matches, Rohit Sharma almost ended up crying after listening India's national anthem. The emotional video went viral on social networks.

Now, ahead of India's crucial clash against the England team in the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, the Indian men's cricket team members revealed how exactly they feel while listening to the anthem.

"Anywhere with a packed crowd, when you're standing with the national anthem, it's magical.You have goosebumps every time," said star opener KL Rahul to Star Sports adding that "even getting your cap becomes the second best thing".


Skipper Rohit Sharma said, "Whenever you come to the World Cup and play the first match. the national anthem resonates all over the ground, and our boys are standing. That is a different moment. When the national anthem concludes, we look at each other. No one is able to speak for 5-7 seconds because everyone is trying to soak in that moment. Most of the guys cannot even wait for it. You cannot experience such an atmosphere everyday. It's a special moment for everyone and I'm sure everyone is looking forward to it."


Star batsman Virat Kohli said it was a unique experience and that he had never felt such a sense of unity before a match before."I've never felt that sense of unity and united energy in one place, ever. It's a very special thing when you feel the force of so many people behind you."

"The World Cup is a different atmosphere. Different emotions and feelings. Experiencing these moments is a fortunate thing," Virat added further.

Meanwhile, Hardid Pandya said that the national anthem gives "a sense of achievement."

India will take on England at Adelaide Oval in the second semifinal of the Men's T20 World Cup today.
