On Sunday, Akshay appeared to have represented Bollywood in Lord's all by himself - he arrived in the stands mid-way through the match. What he tweeted for Team India after is adorable: "Even broken hearts can laugh! These women have started a revolution and I couldn't be more proud." "Well played Women In Blue, it's been an incredible journey and you will always be an inspiration for girls across India," Priyanka wrote on Twitter while Shraddha also tweeted to say: "It's OK team India. You girls made it to the finals!!! That in itself is such a proud moment. #WomensWorldCup2017 Girl power all the way." Shahid also rooted for Team India: "This team has woken us all up to women's cricket in India. Great game girls. Almost had it."

Here's a review of Team India's performance from Sachin Tendulkar.
Feel for all of you, #WomenInBlue! You were good throughout but sometimes it is not meant to be. Congrats England on winning #WWC17Final!

Team India was headlined by opener Punam Raut and Harmanpreet Kaur at the Women's World Cup final with some spectacular fast bowling by Jhulan Goswami. This is the second time the women's team made it to the finals for the Women's World Cup after 2005.
Congratulations Team India for a brilliant performance. More power to you!
