Salman Khan, the renowned Bollywood actor, exuded confidence on Friday as he voiced his belief that Team India would emerge victorious in the upcoming World Cup final against Australia on Sunday. Speaking at a fan event for ‘Tiger 3‘ in Mumbai, Salman linked the movie’s release to the ongoing Cricket World Cup, stating that India has triumphed in every game so far, coinciding with the film’s screening.
Every game that India wins, and during that time, we arrive (with Tiger 3), the collections we garner are indeed remarkable. With India poised to win the World Cup now, you all will return to the theaters afterward,” Salman declared with confidence, eliciting spirited applause from the crowd.
Released on Diwali, ‘Tiger 3,’ starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi, has successfully crossed the Rs 300 crore mark at the global box office.
Shifting focus to India’s upcoming match against Australia in Ahmedabad, Salman drew parallels with the 2003 World Cup Final, expressing hope for a different outcome this time. India secured their spot in the finals by defeating New Zealand by 70 runs at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, with Mohammad Shami delivering a standout performance, claiming seven wickets.
India’s batting prowess was evident as Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Rohit Sharma, Shubhman Gill, and KL Rahul contributed significantly to a formidable total. Australia, the second finalist, clinched their place by overcoming South Africa in a thrilling contest at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
In the upcoming final, the Indian team comprises Rohit Sharma as the captain, along with Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishan Kishan, Prasidh Krishna, and Suryakumar Yadav.
