The Indian cricket team, which has been far from impressive in the ongoing one-day
series against England, found a novel way to draw inspiration ahead of
the crucial fourth game -- by watching the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 'Chak De India'.
The cricketers watched the Bollywood hit movie with enthusiasm and sought inspiration
from the film which tracks an underdog women hockey team's progress to become
world champions.
Team India manager Rajiv Shukla said the players enjoyed the
movie to the hilt and found it to be a nice outing which provided a few lessons
about winning and team spirit.
"Everybody enjoyed the movie and was inspired by it. It was a good way
to unwind for the players," he said.
'Chak De India' has created ripples in the box office with
critics describing it as one of the best Bollywood sports films. It depicts
the story of the Indian women's hockey team which overcomes several hurdles
to emerge champions in the World Cup.
