Mumbai: Come rain or sunshine, Abhishek Bachchan made it a point to attend an ISL match in Chennai, where his team Chennaiyin FC took on Mumbai City FC. With an umbrella in hand, the actor braved the heavy downpour and cheered his team on from the stands. All the effort didn’t go in vain as his Chennaiyin FC crushed the competitors with a 3-0 win.
