Top 10 cricketing tweets of the year
2019 World Cup final, which gathered several tweets, was one of the most heartbreaking moments in the history of cricket.
6. Virat Kohli’s tweet on the 87-year-old Charulata Patel
India had a phenomenal run in the World Cup. They did not lose a game in the group stages and suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the semi-final. But there was one moment that won over everybody’s hearts during the World Cup. There was an 87-year-old Superfan in the stands cheering Virat Kohli and his men.
Age is just a number and Charulata Patel summed up that saying perfectly. She was seen in India’s game against Bangladesh in Edgbaston, Birmingham. The 87-year-old was even interviewed by the official broadcaster. Patel was seen on a wheelchair, blowing vuvuzela and cheering for the Indian team.
After the game, Kohli and Rohit Sharma even took time out to meet Patel. The Indian captain took to Twitter and sent out a heartfelt message for her as well. In fact, she also got tickets for India’s next game which was against Sri Lanka.
