Meanwhile, fans of the actor were happy to finally get a tweet from him. “Virat Kohli century and his tweet aur kya chaiye,” tweeted one. “We want the same comeback like Virat for you to Shahrukh,” wrote another. “Oh Jaan I just felt that you will tweet today after the match. Another World Cup started that too with an #INDvPAK match, have the sweetest memory of how it started, miss you at the stands but the winning chants scream remembers your name saying Chak De! India always,” read a tweet.
Virat’s match-winning performance — which was also a huge talking point on social media on Sunday — followed a tough 18 months for one of the biggest stars in international cricket.
Previously Virat renounced the T20 captaincy after a terrible performance by India at the World Cup which included a thrashing by Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh was last seen on the big screen in a lead role in 2018’s Zero. His last appearance was in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra. His upcoming projects include Pathaan with Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. He also has Atlee’s Jawan with Nayanthara and Dhunki with Taapsee Pannu, by Rajkumar Hirani.
