India qualified for the World Cup semi-finals for the seventh time in the history of the tournament after they beat neighbours Bangladesh by 28 runs at Edgbaston on Tuesday (July 2), and present to cheer them on was a very special fan named Charulata Patel.
She was seen enthusiastically celebrating all the boundaries and the wickets in the stands and the ICC later shared a small video of her as well.
After the match, Indian captain Virat Kohli went over to meet her and spend a little time with her.
Kohli shared the moment on Twitter and wrote, “Also would like to thank all our fans for all the love & support & especially Charulata Patel ji. She’s 87 and probably one of the most passionate & dedicated fans I’ve ever seen. Age is just a number, passion takes you leaps & bounds. With her blessings, on to the next one. 🙏🏼😇.”
