Bollywood celebrities like Abhishek Bachchan, Arjun Kapoor and Varun Dhawan have celebrated India's victory over Kenya at the 2018 International Cup.

They showered praise on skipper Sunil Chhetri for his performance in his 100th international game on Monday where he scored twice, calling him a "legend" and a "leader".

Chhetri scored a brace on a rain-soaked Monday night at the Mumbai Football Arena, as Jeje Lalpekhlua also scored to help India beat Kenya 3-0 keeping its hopes alive for the final of the Intercontinental Cup on June 10.

Here's what they have tweeted:

Your appeal is so honest and sincere, Sunil.
There will be a day. Soon enough. It wont be necessary.
You’re a true leader. #HeroIntercontinentalCup #IndianFootball @chetrisunil11 https://t.co/VX7HgOwx4v

Congrats captain @chetrisunil11 & @IndianFootball Team for the Big Win against Kenya.

Your 100th international match will always be etched in Indian Sporting History. Thank you for bringing awareness to a sport that is so loved but not noticed in our country as much as cricket.
