India beat Pakistan in the T20 World Cup match on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. This made actor Shah Rukh Khan very happy. He told Virat Kohli and the whole Indian cricket team on Twitter how happy he was for them.
“It was great to watch a great cricket game. It’s great that India won. It was so great to see @imVkohli bat, and it was so inspiring to see him cry and smile, as well as hear the Chak de India score in the background. He wrote, “Happy Diwali starts right now.” In Chak De India, Shah Rukh played a hockey coach who was accused of being a traitor to his country. In the last scene, his team wins and he can finally move on.
Fans of the actor were glad to finally hear from him on Twitter. “Virat Kohli’s century and his tweet, too? “How about that?” one person asked. “We want you to come back like Virat did,” wrote someone else. “Oh, Jaan, I just had a feeling you’d tweet today after the game. Another World Cup began with a match between India and Pakistan. I have the sweetest memory of how it began. I miss you in the stands, but the winning chants shout your name and say “Chak De!” “Always India,” said a tweet.
One of the best cricket players in the world has had a rough 18 months, so Virat’s match-winning performance on Sunday was a big deal on social media. Last year, he gave up being captain of the T20 team after India had a bad World Cup, which included getting beat up by Pakistan. Then he lost his job as captain of ODIs, and in January he also gave up his job as captain of Tests. Rohit Sharma is in charge of India right now in all formats.
