She Stole All The Limelight As India Qualifies For The World Cup Semifinals

This passionate youthful lady stole the limelight at Edgbaston on Tuesday as she enthusiastically blew her trumpet, cheering for the men in blue from the stands while India went on to qualify for the ICC World Cup 2019 semi-finals for the seventh time in the history of the tournament by defeating Bangladesh.

Identified as 87-year-old Charulata Patel by the commentators, this woman proved that age is just a number. While the performances were superlative and everyone was talking about it online, this saree clad woman, along with a sweater and shawl, painted Indian flags on her cheeks and plastic trumpet at Edgbaston won everyone’s heart.

Check any social media sites and you will find this instant star everywhere. Her face and excitement are all that you need to see today.

While talking to ANI, this octogenarian says,  “I have been watching cricket for the last many decades, from the time I was in Africa. Earlier I used to watch on TV when I was working, but now that I am retired, I watch it live.”

Not just that, the skipper Virat Kohli and vice-captain Rohit Sharma also met her in the stadium as well. As a heartwarming gesture, she blessed them as well while sharing the special moment together.

It is true that this kind of passion shouldn’t go unnoticed.

Touched by her passion, Anand Mahindra, one of the leading industrialists of India, promised to reimburse her ticket costs for the rest of the India matches in the ICC World Cup 2019!

Go team India, bring home the cup, one more time.
