What’s the story?
When India took on Bangladesh in the World Cup, an 87-year-old lady grabbed everyone’s attention. Proudly sporting the tricolour on her cheeks and draped around an Indian team’s scarf, she was blowing a horn passionately as the men in blue cruised towards victory at Edgbaston.
In case you didn’t know…
Twitter has given birth to many sensations, who have gone from being regular people to celebrities overnight. From the Royal Challengers Bangalore superfan dressed in red to the dejected and hopeless Pakistani fan, we have seen quite a few meme-worthy reactions in the ground in the recent past.
The heart of the matter
A veteran fan of the Indian team made the headlines on Twitter with her immense passion for the game and her love for the Indian team. Many fans were inspired to see her devotion to the gentleman’s game. Her photo made rounds on social media as soon as the cameraman caught her.
Fans showered their respect for the lady, who goes by the name of Charulata Patel and also praised the cameraman. “Well done cameraman, finally captured real beauty,” said a Twitter user. “Well done cameraman, you have captured the amazing spirit this video shows that age is just a number and she proves it with her enthusiasm,” another user opined.
Vrat Kohli too tweeted about the meeting. “Also would like to thank all our fans for all the love & support & especially Charulata Patel ji.i She’s 87 and probably one of the most passionate & dedicated fans I’ve ever seen. Age is just a number, the passion takes you leaps & bounds. With her blessings, on to the next one,” the 30-year-old wrote.
What’s next?
It is really heartening to see fans turn up to watch the game they love, irrespective of their age. It was nice of the players as well to meet her after the game and make her day even more memorable.
