Bollywood superstar Ajay Devgn was present at the iconic Wankhede stadium on Friday, March 17, 2023, as India took on Australia in the first ODI of the three-match series.

The celebrity quotient at the first ODI was at an all-time high with Thalaiva present in the stadium to cheer on the Indian team.

Also seen in the VIP box, the incomparable Rajinikanth.

Devgn's presence in the stadium was soon trending on social media with the hashtag #BholaaAtIndVsAus.

Present at the stadium to promote Bholaa, his coming film, Devgn was seen conversing with Sanjay Manjrekar and Sunil Gavaskar.
