New Delhi, June 20 (IBNS): History was created by a 10-year-old boy during a World Cup clash in Russia when he became the first  Indian to be an official match ball carrier in the ongoing sporting event.

Rishi Tej created the new page in Indian history during the World Cup match between  Belgium and Panama.

Belgium defeated Panama 3-0.

"I am so excited, you cannot measure it even. It is like I am still dreaming. In Russia, I want to live every moment. During the match, I just don't want to enjoy but analyse how they play," Rishi, who hails from Bangalore, told India Today.
