Actors Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh led the lines to cheer up Men in Blue after Team India lost the ICC World Cup final to Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) soon after the match, Shah Rukh wrote, “The way the Indian team has played this whole tournament is a matter of honour and they showed great spirit and tenacity.”
Taking the “unfortunate” loss in his stride and lending his unwavering support to the Indian cricket team, the Jawan star went on to say how the cricketers made them proud throughout the tournament. “It’s a sport and there are always a bad day or two. Unfortunately it happened today…but thank u Team India for making us so proud of our sporting legacy in cricket…u bring too much cheer to the whole of India. Love and respect. You make us one proud Nation.”
The 58-year-old actor cheered for Team India throughout the game at the stadium, where he was present with his wife, Gauri Khan, and their children, Suhana Khan and Aryan Khan.
Ranveer, too, rooted for the home team along with his wife, Deepika Padukone, from the stands. “Some highs, some lows. Some good days, some bad days. Some wins, some losses. That's sport. That's life,” the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star wrote on his Instagram Stories after the match.
“We are all gutted, but let's applaud our boys for giving it their all,” the 38-year-old actor further wrote, praising the players for their performances during the ICC tournament.
