Watch: Cricketers take on Bollywood in a Football match for a charity

Watch: Cricketers take on Bollywood in a Football match for a charity: The maiden charity match between Indian cricketers and movie stars turned out to be an exciting contest. The cricketers emerged victorious by a scoreline of 4-3 but they were given a run for their money by the All Star team led by Abhishek Bachchan.

The funds raised from the match went to the Magic Bus Organisation, which works for the charity of underprivileged children. Virat Kohli launched the team for his foundation ‘All Heart Football Club’ against the All Stars Football Club.

Ranbir Kapoor stole the show with his soccer tricks. He dribbled past defenders at ease, outpaced the cricketers, made numerous attempts at the goal and capped off his night with a blistering strike from the edge of the penalty box. The only blip was a missed penalty, which however he made up for by winning another one for his team.

Earlier, the cricketers dressed in red and black, showed their skills with the ball at their feat by smashing 3 goals in the first half.

They started off in an aggressive fashion with India cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni making a pin-point cross in the box from the right wing which was put at the back of the net by Tanmoy Mishra giving the ‘All Heart’ team 1 goal lead.

Former Indian football captain Baichung Bhutia scored an equilizer, but from then on, it was all Manoj Tiwary show. The Indian batsman dribbled across the defenders and ended up netting two goals. The match ended up being a closely fought contest, as the Cricketers won the match 4-3.
