This is not the first time the captain has urged people to come forward and support the Blue Tigers. Earlier he had requested people in Mumbai to come and fill the stadium during the Intercontinental Cup match – which India went on to win.
This is nothing but a small plea from me to you. Take out a little time and give me a listen. pic.twitter.com/fcOA3qPH8i
