Kohli went on to retweet Chhetri’s message. Following which, he posted a new video on his Twitter page with the caption,

“Please take notice of my good friend and Indian football skipper @chetrisunil11's post and please make an effort.”

As mentioned earlier, Chhetri posted a heartfelt video online. In the video, he said,

“All those from the country who came to Mumbai to support us – amazing. All the fans from Mumbai who came and watched us, thank you so much for the encouragement. It means the world to us."

He later went on to clarify that his “plea” was actually directed towards those who failed to make it to the stadium on Friday to watch India decimate Chinese Taipei in Intercontinental Cup, 2018 opener and those who criticize and have lost hope on Blue Tigers.

“But today I am not making a video for you guys. I am gonna speak and appeal to all of you who did not come. To everyone who is not a football fan, please come and watch us for two reasons. No. 1 – it’s the best game in the world and No. 2 – we play for our country. We will make sure that once you come to watch us, you will not return the same person back home,” he further added.

“I mean, it is not fun to criticise or abuse on the internet. Come to the stadium. Do it on our face. Scream at us, shout at us, abuse us. Who knows, one day it might change you guys or you might start a chain for us. To all of you fans who could not come or did not come due to delay, work, school, please come and watch us in the stadiums. You guys have no idea how important you are and your support is. "
