However, it turns out that Thomas Muller isn't the only footballer who is rooting for India. Earlier, Brazil and Chelsea defender David Luiz had in a Twitter video said that he would be supporting Kohli-led Team India in ICC World Cup 2019.

Team India will lock horns with South Africa at Rose Bowl in Southhampton on June 5.
