Ranveer Singh’s on-field hug of Indian skipper Virat Kohli is not the only moment that created a social media frenzy. The Bollywood star also embraced a Pakistan fan and told him not to be upset after his country’s team lost to India in an ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 match in Manchester.
From making his commentary debut alongside cricket stars Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag to joining the crowd and cheering for team India and taking selfies with the Indian players, Ranveer’s energetic and fun avatar at the Old Trafford stadium made the match even more special for the spectators.
