We all shared the heart-breaking moment on 10 July, when team India lost to New Zealand, marking India’s exit from the World Cup this year. Be it MS Dhoni’s wicket, or Jadeja’s sad exit from the pitch, the match was full of sad moments.
Even Bollywood celebrities shared the emotion as they all took to social media to support team India and laud the men in blue’s efforts. Varun Dhawan tweeted, “ Respect and thank you team india for giving us everything.”
“Hard luck Virat. Just wasn't our day today. For me, India had already won the world cup when we qualified for the semis at the top of the list as the no 1 team. Well played guys, throughout the tournament. I just wish it hadn't rained yesterday... the result might have been different. But well done. Proud of our team. Love. A," Aamir Khan wrote.
Anupam Kher tweeted a picture of team India and penned an emotional note for the players. “Thank you #IndianCricketTeam for your game & your efforts. You played very well. You bind us together. You bring out the Indian in us. In fact You bring out the tricolour in us. You will always be our Heroes. We love you,” he wrote.
