The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup final between India and Australia on Sunday, had many Bollywood celebrities cheering for the Men In Blue at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium. Actor Ranveer Singh, an ardent fan of sport, was in the stands along with his actor-wife Deepika Padukone, sister-in-law Anisha, and Shah Rukh Khan and family. A video of the actor has surfaced on the internet where he is seen passionately applauding Team India after the dismissal of Australian batsman David Warner.
In the video, as Warner walks out of the field, the camera pans to an enthusiastic Ranveer, who is shouting “Come on”. He then takes a sigh of relief and encourages the Indian supporters in the stands to cheer the loudest for their team. At some moments, he also seems to be intensely tense as it was a crucial game.
