SAFF Cup 2015: Virat Kohli congratulates India team, 'mind blowing' Sunil Chhetri

New Delhi: Star cricketer Virat Kohli on Sunday had a special congratulatory message for the Indian football team and captain Sunil Chhetri after they beat Afghanistan to capture the SAFF Cup.

The Indian Test skipper's love for football saw him pick up a stake in Indian Super League franchise FC Goa in 2014.

Kohli also follows tennis closely and is the co-owner of the UAE Royals team in the International Premier Tennis League.

Kohli took to social micro-blogging site Twitter to wish Chhetri and his team on their historic triumph in Trivandrum.

@imVkohli Thank you skipper,I'm certain our boys won't need any extra time to get the job done in Australia.All the very best.

This delightful exchange between the two skippers definitely got fans excited.

India pulled off a comeback win against the Afghans in the final thanks to goals from Jeje and Chhetri. This was India's 7th SAFF Cup title.
