Team India’s star cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma couldn’t hide their smiles after coming across a reimagined poster of the iconic Bollywood movie ‘Lagaan,’ featuring them and other members of the current Indian men’s cricket team. The clip, from India’s ongoing white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, has gone viral on social media, capturing a delightful moment off the field.
The Men in Blue started their tour of the island nation in impressive fashion, winning the first T20I in Pallekele by 43 runs. They continued their winning streak by clinching the next two matches of the T20I series at the same venue, securing victory in the second T20I by seven wickets (DLS method) and the third T20I in a thrilling Super Over finish. After an exciting tie in the first ODI, Sri Lanka managed to bounce back with a 32-run victory in the second game.
‘Lagaan’ Poster with Indian Cricket Team Brings Joy to Kohli and Rohit
Amidst the excitement of the series, a heartwarming video featuring Kohli, Rohit, and a few other members of the Indian one-day team has captured fans’ attention. The clip, seemingly shot ahead of India taking the field, shows Kohli pointing out something to Rohit. As the camera pans, it reveals a fan in the stands holding up a creative ‘Lagaan’ poster with a modern twist. The poster replaces lead actor Aamir Khan’s face with that of Indian captain Rohit Sharma, alongside other Indian cricketers as the main characters.
The caption on the artistic poster read, “Modern Day Lagaan Warriors.” This reimagined ‘Lagaan’ poster, where all the main characters were replaced with Indian cricketers, went viral following the Men in Blue’s triumphant performance against England in the 2023 ODI World Cup. The playful and nostalgic nod to the iconic film has brought smiles and laughter, adding to the celebratory atmosphere surrounding India’s current cricketing exploits.
