It has also been confirmed that the Indian cricket team captain will lead his team All-Heart FC against Ranbir Kapoor's All-Stars FC. 


The match will be played on October 15 at the Mumbai Football Arena in Andheri at 7:00 pm and will be broadcast live on Star Sports network from 06:00 PM IST.


Sharing the news on his Facebook account, Kohli wrote:



The celebrity match also took place last season at the same venue with the All-Heart XI having some big names from the Indian cricket team like Kohli, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan and Ravichandran Ashwin. 


Kohli and Dhoni are self-confessed maniacs of the beautiful game. The last edition of the celebrity encounter ended with a final score of 2-2 with KL Rahul scoring a late equalizer for Virat's team.
