The Indian Premier League (IPL) is on and micro-blogging site Twitter is abuzz with posts from Bollywood personalities rooting for their favourite teams.
Mumbai Indians, Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings all have their supporters, while the IPL has a fair share of the Bollywood quotient with many teams owned by members of the Hindi film industry. Shah Rukh Khan co-owns Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) with Juhi Chawla, Shilpa Shetty co-owns Rajasthan Royals and Preity Zinta is a co-owner of Kings XI Punjab.
The film fraternity came out in full strength to congratulate Khan for KKR's win against Deccan Chargers in the first match of the tournament, including Arjun Rampal, Deepika Padukone, Riteish Deshmukh and Shekhar Kapur.
Abhishek Bachchan: “The new Mumbai Indians jersey looks very cool. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.”
Kunal Kohli: “...Punjab v/s Delhi, tough choice, both good teams, I’ll go with Punjab.”
Shilpa Shetty: “Congrats KKR! Well deserved.”
Karan Johar: “His name is Khan and he is a Rockstar!!! Way to go Shah Rukh.”
R. Madhavan: “Started. My best to all the teams and hope the Chennai Kings rock. Damn. Felt bad when they did not approach me as their brand ambassador.”
Dia Mirza: “I am Dia. I am from Hyderabad. And I am supporting the Deccan Chargers... I live in Mumbai now. I will be sure to support Mumbai Indians.”
