Arjun Bhardwaj, 24, now wants New Zealand to win the cricket World Cup, according to a report in 'New Zealand Herald'.
The reason being is that Bhardwaj took a clean one-handed catch during a Pool B match between India and Zimbabwe at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday, which made him the sixth person to make the draw in the 'Tui Catch a Million' competition, and he currently has a share of NZD 350,000 (nearly USD 260,000).
The booty would be shared between fans taking clean one-handed catches at any of the World Cup matches held in New Zealand, brewery brand Tui said on its website.
Fans have to wear a special Tui 2015 'Catch a Million' tee-shirt to participate in the competition.
Bhardwaj, who moved to Auckland seven years ago from India, said that he planned to start a business with the money and was "very, very excited".
