Following this, Thomas Muller, the legendary football player, came out in support of India and took to Twitter to wish the Indian team all the luck for the World Cup 2019. He wore the blue Indian jersey and tagged Virat Kohli, the Indian team captain while sending him best wishes.

Virat Kohli is also a die-hard fan of Die Mannschaft and has been seen wishing the Germany football team on multiple occasions in the past. The tweet escalated in no time and got a huge engagement from the supporters of both countries. To further extend the fan reach and take the excitement up a notch, cricket icons Shikhar Dhawan and Harsha Bhogle were looped in the conversation and they whole-heartedly appreciated Muller’s tweet.

The huge fan base and unprecedented support from Germany made the campaign viral on social media garnering over 16,000 retweets and 77,000 likes on Thomas Muller’s tweet alone. In fact, #GermanyCheersForIndia campaign was seen trending on twitter for almost four hours the day he tweeted.
