A disheartened Chhetri, who scored a hat-trick, took to Twitter in a video to urge people to come out and support the team. "To everyone who has lost hope in Indian football I request you to come and watch us in the stadiums," Chhetri said in the message. India, who are 97th in the Fifa rankings, play Kenya in the four-nation Inter-Continental Cup on Monday. Kohli took to Twitter to back his football counterpart. Tendulkar added "C'mon India... Let's fill in the stadiums and support our teams wherever and whenever they are playing."
