The excitement surrounding the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is at its peak, and it's not just cricket fans who are caught up in the elation. WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre has added to the buzz by sending a heartfelt message to the Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma, and the entire Indian Cricket Team as they start on their World Cup journey in Chennai on October 8 against the mighty Australians.
In a gesture that has delighted cricket fans worldwide, McIntyre put on the India ODI jersey and shared a special message on his social media platform, X.
"Good luck to @ImRo45 and the rest of his team as India get ready to host the Cricket World Cup. The hospitality and love you show me every time I’m there is amazing," said McIntyre.
McIntyre is no stranger to the world of sports and entertainment, holding a position as one of WWE's top superstars. With achievements including two WWE Championships, a Tag Team Championship, and an NXT Championship to his name, he's a force to be reckoned with in the wrestling universe.
However, what has truly made cricket fans really like McIntyre is his genuine connection to the sport. This connection was on full display during the Superstar Spectacle event held in Hyderabad in September. In a heartwarming gesture that resonated deeply with cricket fans, McIntyre surprised everyone by donning the Indian ODI jersey. It was a symbol of his support and a heartfelt wish for the Indian cricket team's success in the coming World Cup.
As Team India takes on the world in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, they carry not only the hopes of a cricket-crazy nation but also the heartfelt wishes of a WWE Superstar who has embraced the magic of cricket. McIntyre's special message is a testament of the bonds that sports create and the shared joy that comes with celebrating our favourite teams on their quest for victory.
