While everyone lauded the terrific game, celebrities from across the border couldn't help but comment on Team Pakistan's marvellous win!

Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor, for one, too took to Twitter to express his feelings about Sunday's big final which, everyone is expecting, will be Pakistan vs India.

Team India is yet to qualify for the finals if they beat Bangladesh in the second leg of the semis, but the Bobby star went a bit over confident and tweeted, "Congratulations Pakistan! You enter finals? Wow! Good to see you wearing our colour BLUE! Get ready to be BLUED now! We will BLUE you away!"

Congratulations Pakistan! You enter finals? Wow! Good to see you wearing our colour BLUE! Get ready to be BLUED now! We will BLUE you away!

His tweet obviously didn't go down too well with the overexcited Pakistanis, who had a thing or two to say about it.

Can't you ever keep your feet on the ground? You people are not even in the final yet.

Oh Rishi, we realise you're also excited for an India vs Pakistan final but let's just focus on defeating Bangladesh today?

GBFX | 7 years ago | Reply Rishi, nice sarcasm, on the pitch we'll see who blue's who.. as for everyone. Lets treat a game as a game, not war. World could use some peace!

Waqas Jabal | 7 years ago | Reply He did congratulate before being a little overexcited. I did not find anything wrong or offensive about it. Just that India hadn't qualified by the time he wrote this. Forgivable hai.

DP Gilani | 7 years ago | Reply We look forward to a truly exciting match on Sunday.Let the best team win.

Xman | 7 years ago | Reply Let's just enjoy the game, and enjoy the fact that we have both kicked goras out of the tournament on THEIR home ground.

Haji Atiya | 7 years ago | Reply Actually Rishi is quite a nice guy and he's just fooling around.

singh | 7 years ago | Reply There is nothing horrible in his comments. Everybody knows relationships between India/Pak are based on hatred against each other because of Kashmir. Our culture is same. Let us enjoy game on Sunday. Best team will win. @Jawad:

Hamid | 7 years ago | Reply A cheap shot as usual. I don't find it worth discussing. The one who plays well will win simple. But keep in mind pak have still more wins at record and we are unpredictable too. Love n peace for all

Anand | 7 years ago | Reply @Mehmud Fez An enlightened comment in a long time. You have nailed it. Kudos to your refined intellect. Love from India.

RHS | 7 years ago | Reply Actually as a Pakistani I actually felt no offense in his remarks. It adds interest to the game on Sunday.

nargis | 7 years ago | Reply at least u must have some patience to accept a win in the game very sorry to see ur pathetic sportsman spirit ur tweet is a stance to Bollywood lovers who r Pakistan's as well

Asad | 7 years ago | Reply @Singh: Should probably wait for today's result.

Muhibullah | 7 years ago | Reply No comments on why he thought the Pakistani team was wearing blue?

Mehmud Fez | 7 years ago | Reply He proved art could not sublime his innerself.

Faisal | 7 years ago | Reply And yet Pakistanis are crazy for Bollywood, love Bollywood actors/actresses and cannot live a single day without Bollywood. When will we wake up and realize reality!

Jawad | 7 years ago | Reply Thia man is horrible, knowing his ancestral roots are in Pakistan.

Singh | 7 years ago | Reply Congratulations Pak team on your win. Final should be between traditional rivals: India v/s Pak. There is nothing wrong in Rishi Kapoor's tweet.
