Bollywood stars light up ICC World Cup 2023 Final

The ICC World Cup 2023 is coming to its end after the showdown lasted for 45 days as India and Australia take on one another in the final of the mega event at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, on Sunday and the World Cup fever has gone outside the cricketing circles as well.

The climax of the 13th edition of the mega event is underway and among almost 132,000 spectators wearing the blue jersey of their side, a number of Bollywood stars are present in the stadium to extend their support to the Indian cricket team which is fighting to claim its third World Cup title.

The Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh were seen in the stands with the latter two donning the blue jerseys and cheering for the Rohit Sharma-led unit.
