Thousands rushed to watch India’s match against Kenya at the Intercontinental Cup 2018 after skipper Sunil Chhetri made an appeal on Twitter asking fans to fill the stadium. India won the match and his tweet has now been recognized as the most “retweeted tweet” of the year from India.

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

In his video message, Chhetri said: “Abuse us, criticize us but please come to watch the Indian national team play.”To all of you, who have lost hope or don’t have any hope in Indian football, we request you to come and watch us in the stadium.” The then India national captain made the appeal after just around 2,500 fans came to watch their previous game.
