The emotional video posted by the captain of the Indian Football team Sunil Chhetri has gone viral in which he has humbly requested the fans to come out and support his team in the Stadium. The team will lock horns against Kenya in the ongoing Intercontinental Cup as the skipper will play his landmark 100th International match for his country. The Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has posted a congratulatory tweet for him and has urged the fans to support the Men in Blue by turning out in large numbers.

Dhawan is not the first cricketer to do so as the likes of Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar, Suresh Raina and Krunal Pandya have also upvoted his request and urged the people of India to back the national team. They stressed on giving equal importance to all the sports along with cricket which has been lacking over the years in the country.

Dhawan’s tweet

Shikhar Dhawan is currently enjoying the time with his family after a hectic IPL season and noticed the humble request from Sunil Chhetri. He soon took to Twitter and congratulated him ahead of the game against Kenya when he will play his 100th International Football. He also made an appeal to the sports followers in the country to support the Indian team which will be hitting the straps on Monday evening at Mumbai Football Arena.

“Congrats @chetrisunil11 on reaching the milestone of 100 caps for the country tonight. Requesting all football fans and sports fans in Mumbai to fill the stadium tonight as @IndianFootball takes on Kenya in the Intercontinental Cup. #SupportIndianFootball #Chhetri100,” Dhawan’s message read for the Indian skipper and the Football game.

The Indian team has already defeated Chinese Taipei with a whopping margin of 5-0 and a victory in this game will almost guarantee a place for them in the finals.
