The Indian sportsmen had a gem of an evening while competing with top Bollywood stars led by Ranbir Kapoor in the Celebrity Clasico at the Mumbai Football Arena on Sunday. The cherry on the cake came when All Heart FC skipper Virat Kohli thanked the superstars for helping the Virat Kohli Foundation by participating in the charity football match.
Taking to Instagram, Kohli wrote: “Great day for Charity and for winning as well!!!
Thank you everyone who have made this possible and thanks to All Heart FC for the everlasting support. You all made my day! #CelebrityClasico #AllHeartFC #AllStarFC.”
MS Dhoni’s football skills were evident during the match at the Andheri Sports Complex as he curled one in ala David Beckham style in a charity football match that Virat Kohli-led All Hearts side won 7-3 against Abhishek Bachchan’s All Stars team. He was even awarded ‘Man of the Match’ after the game for his two goals for ALL Hearts FC.
Kohli’s fans were also overjoyed when he sprinted down the right flank to score a goal and then did an improvised bhangra dance. Former India hockey captain PR Sreejesh and French Open mixed doubles champion Rohan Bopanna also played for Kohli’s team.
