"I hope you had a good trip to Dushanbe and on the behalf of the Embassy and Indian community, I wish you all the best for your next matches. Go, Team India, Go," Viraj Singh stated  on the side lines of the dinner hosted by the Indian Embassy in Tajikistan for the Blue Tigers.

Singh, who has been an avid football follower was present at the Central Republican Stadium in Dushanbe on Thursday (November 14, 2019) to cheer for the Indian National Team.

"We had played a great game against Afghanistan (on Thursday, November 14, 2019). We drew 1-1, it was a wonderful match and we scored in the last minute," Singh commented.

Approximately 700 Indian students who are currently pursuing MBBS course in Dushanbe were also seen cheering their lungs out for India the other day until the final whistle was blown by the referee.
