England will next take on Italy in the Euro 2020 final at Wembley Stadium on Sunday. It will be England's first major tournament final in 55 years. The last time, England had reached a final was way back in 1966, where they beat West Germany (4-2) to take the World Cup home.Â
In the past, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant were among the other India cricketers spotted at the Wembley Stadium in London to watch Euro 2020 matches.Â
While Bumrah was seen enjoying the other semi-final clash between Italy and Spain along with his wife Sanjana Ganesan on July 7, Pant was spotted watching the round of 16 match between England and Germany on June 30.Â
