May the force be with you: Modi sends his best wishes to Team India on Twitter

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the latest to send his best wishes to Team India in their quest to retain the cricket World Cup. And it’s not a casual ‘good luck’ directed at the entire team. Just like a billion of cricket-crazy Indian fans, the PM is clearly taking the tournament seriously. He sent out a series of tweets to every individual squad member, wishing them the best of luck and encouraging the team to bring the trophy home.

Here are the tweets from Modi’s official Twitter account.
