While the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 came to an end with Australia winning the cup for the record sixth time by defeating India by six wickets, it could not break the spirit of Indians even a single bit. Though the loss has wrecked millions of hearts, Indians still stand in solidarity with the Men in Blue, especially the Bollywood stars.
The final match was conducted at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad where we got to see the presence of many Bollywood stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padokone, Ranveer Singh and many more to support the Indian team. The great support was showered online through social media platforms like Instagram and X with many more Bollywood actors to back Rohit Sharma and squad after the loss.
On X, Amitabh Bachchan shared tweets in regard to the Indian team’s talent throughout the tournament. The tweet reads, “T 4836 – …. your talent , capability and standing is beyond all that .. it is supreme .. the results of the 10 you played exhibited that .. you are a feared team .. just see how many ex Champions and Winners you devastated in this WC .. you are the BEST .. and shall remain so ..

The tweet said, “The way the Indian team has played this whole tournament is a matter of honour and they showed great spirit and tenacity. It’s a sport and there are always a bad day or two.
