The celebrities from the Indian film industry played football against the cricketers in The Celebrity Clasico. Football is a part of the Indian team’s training routine and they regularly play one-touch so as to keep themselves warm before the match. In fact, during India’s washed out third T20I against Australia, the Hyderabad crowd could cheer whenever Kohli or Dhoni kicked the ball.
It is not just cricketers, former India hockey captain PR Sreejesh and French Open mixed doubles champion Rohan Bopanna also played for Kohli’s team.
