Junior Bachchan is often spotted promoting sports other than cricket. Recently India won the second football match against Kenya in the ‘Intercontinental Cup’ held in Mumbai. Footballer ‘Sunil Chhetri’ has become a star and is also appreciated for inviting football lovers via social media to watch the matches. Though many celebrities praised the game on social media no one actually went to watch the match except ‘Abhishek Bachchan’.
It's a star-studded gathering at the Mumbai Football Arena as AIFF President @praful_patel is flanked by @bhaichung15 @juniorbachchan and IM VIjayan. #Chhetri100 #INDvKEN #WeAreIndia #BackTheBlue #AsianDream
Abhishek was spotted cheering for the Indian football team in the crowd. Fans appreciated him for watching and supporting this game. Along with Abhishek, former footballers ‘Bhaichung Bhutia’ and ‘I.M. Vijayan’, AIFF president Praful Patel also came in support of this game.
Mr. @juniorbachchan is pumped up for the game #Chhetri100 #INDvKEN #BackTheBlue #AsianDream #WeAreIndia
Abhishek Bachchan is a supporter of Football and Kabaddi and has also brought teams of these sports. On India’s win in the football match, Abhishek posted “And you know he had to score!!! @chetri_sunil11 captain, leader, legend. Great win by team India 3:0 Kenya. Super brace by the captain and an unbeatable goal by the sniper @jejefanai who kept his promise to me that he’d score #backtheblue”.
