The crew aboard an Akasa Air flight decided to uplift the spirits of cricket fans. In a video shared by the airline on its official account, the crew members wished the Indian cricket team, fondly known as the 'Men in Blue', good luck for their match against Pakistan.

The announcement was met with cheers and applause from the passengers, many of whom were travelling to Ahmedabad to support team India in what is considered the 'mother of all matches'.
