World-renowned WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre extended his best wishes to the Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, as they gear up for the upcoming World Cup starting October 5.
McIntyre, who has etched his name in WWE history with multiple title victories, showcased his connection to cricket in a rather unexpected and heartwarming gesture. Over the years, McIntyre has firmly established himself as a WWE stalwart, clinching numerous titles since rejoining the company in 2017. His impressive tally includes two WWE Championships, the NXT Championship, and multiple Tag Team Championships.
However, it was during the Superstar Spectacle event in Hyderabad this September that McIntyre's affinity for cricket came to the fore. Much to the astonishment of fans, he donned the Indian ODI jersey. This act was perceived as McIntyre's unique way of rallying behind the Indian cricket team and wishing them success for the World Cup.
The 'Scottish Warrior' further cemented this bond by sharing a photo on X, where he's seen proudly wearing the Indian team jersey. In his post, he sent heartfelt wishes to captain Rohit Sharma and the entire Indian squad. McIntyre also expressed his gratitude for the immense love and warm hospitality he receives every time he visits India.
“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,” Drew wrote on X.
The Indian cricket team, bolstered by recent victories, is set to embark on their World Cup journey on October 8, with a challenging opener against Australia in Chennai. The contest promises to be a thriller, especially considering India's recent 2-1 series win over the Aussies.
In summary, as the World Cup fever sweeps the nation, endorsements and wishes aren't just limited to cricketing legends. Global personalities like Drew McIntyre are also joining in, adding to the excitement and showcasing the profound impact and reach of the sport. The coming days promise unmatched cricketing action, and with such widespread support, Team India is sure to feel the boost.
