Taking a cue from the FIFA World Cup 2018 final clash between Croatia and France, the cricketer took to Twitter and highlighted that the issue of 'conflicts between members of Hindu and Muslim communities in the country'.

He encouraged his fans and masses to 'change the thinking' following which 'the country will also change'. Here's what he wrote on the microblogging site:

125 करोड़ नागरिकता वाले भारत के सभी भाईयों-बहनों से निवेदन है कि अपने-अपने जाहिल कप्तानों द्वारा आपको निरंतर खिलाए जा रहे “हिंदू-मुस्लमान” नामक ख़ूँख़ार खेल से कुछ समय निकालकर आज रात 42 लाख की आबादी वाले सुविधाशून्य #Croatia 🇭🇷 के जाँबाज़ों का कौशल ज़रूर देखें😊🙏#WorldCupFinal

France scored twice in each half as they thumped a combative Croatia 4-2 in a dramatic final to win the FIFA World Cup for the second time in 20 years on Sunday. Also Watch-
