While the battlelines are drawn, Kohli and his boys are got the thumbs-up from unexpected quarter – WWE superstar and ‘Fast & Furious 9’ star John Cena – who threw his weight behind the Indian skipper.
Cena posted a picture of Virat Kohli on Instagram that made a few fans wonder if he is supporting India in the upcoming WTC final, beginning June 18. Cena, who posts images on Instagram without any caption, put up a picture of the India captain that sent fans into a frenzy.

Shubman Gill also had a good outing as he scored 85 runs to make a case for himself for the final XI for WTC final against New Zealand. With the ball, it was Ishant Sharma who led the way with a three-wicket haul and he gave away just 36 runs.
