After Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri appealed to the nation to come out and support the team at the stadiums, Virat Kohli took to social media asking everyone to make the effort in putting in the support.
‘Please take notice of my good friend and Indian football skipper @chetrisunil11’s post and please make an effort,’ he said in his video message.
“In support of what my good friend and Indian captain Sunil Chhetri posted sometime back, I want to request everyone to go and watch Indian football play. Anyone who loves any kind of sport, go and cheer for the team in the stadiums because they are working hard, they are a talented team and I have seen these players evolve and learn over the last few seasons and get so much better at their game.”
“This also will go down a long way in contributing towards creating a sporting culture which is the vision for all of us in the country. And we want to be called a proud sporting nation, we need to accept and support all sports equally. Because tomorrow you never know your children might be playing sports as well and they might need support from people coming and watching them play.”
