Sunil Chhetri looks at social media in a new light, after 2018's famous football tweet

Indian football captain Sunil Chhetri's tweet asking fans to support the national team was the most retweeted post on Twitter in India this year. Reacting to the tweet's wide reach, the footballer said he didn't plan it, but was just speaking his heart out.

“What feels good is the way people responded to it. I didn’t plan that tweet. It’s something I felt about. I picked up my phone and went about speaking my heart out. I would like to believe that the video got a lot of Indian football fans thinking, not just for that game, but for the long term.

It was just an honest opinion that I chose to express and share with everyone via social media. If I had any doubts about how powerful social media is, that tweet definitely put the doubt to bed.”

"I love cars, bikes and gadgets. I drive an Audi A6 and bought a GT Continental Royal Enfield bike. My father is going to kill me, but the one thing I would like to buy is the Range Rover Sport. It's a lovely car. I also broke the bank to buy an apartment in Bangalore, which wasn't cheap at all. I keep spending more than I should here and there. But my dad is always there to keep an eye on me and see that I don't waste money."

"The one thing I would like to splurge on is a small aircraft, but just for travel, not to fly it myself. I don't want to be in a position where I have people's lives in my hand. I will buy it when I am older and have made a 'little' more money."

Also, I think I have shoes in triple digits."
