Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's sisters, Padmini and Naina, on Thursday wished good luck to Team India's in the World Cup semi-finals against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
"This is his first World-cup and India has already won seven matches by now. We want Ravindra to give his 100 percent in semi-finals. It is a collective effort so we want India to play well and get back the World Cup," Padmini told ANI.
"We are in complete support of India and want India to get back the World Cup. It was always Ravindra's dream to play for World Cup," said Naina.
Today's match today pits four-times champions Australia, the top-ranked team in one-day cricket, against defending champions India.
Fans across the country are holding special prayers for the Indian cricket team.
The winners today will go on to face the other co-hosts New Zealand next Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
