Bollywood celebrities and Indian cricketers usually adhere to punishing schedules and hectic routines, but they're never too busy to take time out for some fun, especially if it's for a good cause.
On Saturday, they sparred off against each other in a charity football match, dubbed Celebrity Clasico, held in Mumbai's Andheri Sports Complex. The objective behind this annual event was to raise funds for the charities Playing For Humanity, owned by Abhishek Bachchan, and The Virat Kohli Foundation, owned by the Indian batting star.

Captained by Tamasha (2015) actor Ranbir Kapoor, the 'All Stars' team had Aditya Roy Kapur, Arjun Kapoor, Dino Morea, Shoojit Sircar, and Raj Kundra, among others. Meanwhile, 'All Heart' captained by Virat Kohli boasted players like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh, and Yuvraj Singh.
The match ended in a tie. Bachchan Jr, however, counted it as a blessing.
“Well, it was a draw and we’re very happy because the last time we played, we lost by one goal. I’m very proud of Ranbir and the entire team; they played with all their heart," Abhishek said.
