Road should be named after Gary Kirsten: Ranbir

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor has given full credit to coach Gary Kirsten for the Indian team winning the cricket World Cup and feels that a road in the city should be named after him to honour him.

"Gary Kirsten is the primary architect of this great win. Basically he has converted the same core of players that have been around for a bit into a solid team. Respect and lots of love to him. Should name a road after him. How about calling the road leading to Wankhede the Kirsten's Way for showing us the way…" Ranbir said in a statement.

The actor, who saw the match live at the Wankhade stadium on Saturday, was completely ecstatic after the win.

The actor talks about the World Cup, the celebration on the streets and more

"The experience at the stadium was just euphoric. Team India is on the field a bunch of players from all over India totally diverse in language, race, religion, working together as a very powerful unit. I saw the same spirit outside the field in the biggest street party in the world," he said.
