Shah Rukh Khan, along with his son Aryan Khan, cheered for India in the final that India won defeating Pakistan to win the first T20 World Cup.
India and Pakistan will go against each other in the second match of the Asia Cup in Dubai on Sunday, August 28. Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam captained teams will be looking to start their journey in the tournament on a high note with a massive win. Ahead of this much-awaited clash, an old photo of Shah Rukh Khan and little Aryan Khan waving tricolour and cheering for India at the 2007 T20 World Cup final has gone viral on the internet.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led India defeated Shoaib Malik-led Pakistan by 5 runs in the final and lifted the first ever T20 World Cup championship in Johannesburg, South Africa on September 24, 2007, in one of the most memorable matches between the two sporting nations.
In another viral video, the Swades actor can be seen hugging and greeting each and every member of the Indian cricket team after their historic victory. It was in August 2007 when Shah Rukh starred in one of the finest Indian sports films, Chak De! India and the whole nation was grooving to the beats of the Chak De! India title song after India won the inaugural T20 World Cup.
