Beckham meets India icons at World Cup

The host country are taking on New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and Becks seemingly couldn't miss out on the spectacle while he is over there working for Unicef as a goodwill ambassador.

Our former midfielder was pictured sharing a few words with India star Virat Kohli and his team-mates prior to the match, even getting involved in a kickabout as the players warmed up.

He also spoke with cricketing god Sachin Tendulkar out on the pitch and, once the game got under way, was filmed up in the stands watching on with the ex-batsman, who earned the nickname 'The Little Master' during a stellar 24-year international career.
