Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is among those cheering for the Men in Blue at the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match in New York.
The Indian-origin executive was seen in a blue Team India jersey. He was accompanied by US-based entrepreneur Gaurav Jain.
Satya Nadella, 56, is known to be an ardent cricket follower.
Take a look at Satya Nadella at the India vs Pak match:
“Excited to cheer for team India with the super fan @satyanadella,” Jain posted on X (formerly Twitter), along with a photo of him with Nadella at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first against India in the marquee game at the T20 World Cup on Sunday. India suffered a mid-innings collapse to post an underwhelming 119 against Pakistan despite a gutsy effort from Rishabh Pant. India recorded its lowest ever T20I total against Pakistan on Sunday.

{{/usCountry}}Recently, Nadella, Adobe Inc.’s Shantanu Narayen and former WhatsApp executive Neeraj Arora invested in Major League Cricket in the US, which is played in the same shorter format of 20 overs as the T20 franchise. The league’s inaugural game was played last year in Texas.
In November last year, the Indian-origin tech leader, in his keynote address at the Microsoft annual developer conference, said he stayed up all night to watch the India-New Zealand cricket world cup semi-final clash.
