Few days ago, Sunil Chhetri, the captain of Indian football team, shared a heart-warming and emotional video on the micro-blogging site Twitter in which he urged people to watch and support football.

His clip received positive comments from fans as well as celebs and the magic was apparent as a number of people came to the stadium to actually see the match and support the country.
Among all the supporters, there was one familiar face and it was none other than Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan who also made it to the stadium to motivate the team and render his support.
The second Intercontinental Cup match took place in Mumbai on 5th June in which India emerged as the winner over Kenya.
As media got to know about Abhishek’s presence, they started capturing him on camera as he was seen enthusiastically supporting team India and cheering for it.

It was a star-studded gathering and inspired our team to a great extent:

Twitter loved and appreciated how Junior Bachchan actually came to the stadium to show his support instead of giving best wishes on social media from the comfort of his home. Check out some selected tweets:
