Charulata
Patel, 87-year old lady who became an overnight sensation across the country
after watching the Men in Blue play in last year’s World Cup, the superfan of
Team India is no more. She passed away on Wednesday. Mrs Charulata Patel had
won almost everyone’s heart after she went to the stadium to see Team India’s
match against Bangladesh.
Donning a
tricolour scarf, and with a bright yellow vuvuzela and a flag in hand,
Charulata Patel was spotted celebrating every run. She was so enthusiastic that
the cameramen could not help but constantly show her on the screen.
Not only the
fans but the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were also bowled away by her
enthusiasm. In fact, after the match against Bangladesh ended, both Rohit
Sharma and Virat Kohli had walked up to her to seek her blessings.
Both the
cricket stars were seen talking to her and Virat Kohli even promised to pay for
her match tickets. Soon after the match, Kohli had also taken to Twitter to
thank Charulata Patel. Later, Pepsi had roped her as the face of their swag
campaign. Pepsi were running the ‘Swag’ ad campaign for the ICC World Cup 2019.
But
unfortunately, Charulata Patel will not be seen in any cricket stadium anymore
although her legacy will continue inspiring the cricketers and fans.
