Indian cricketers Virat Kohli and M S Dhoni will square up against a team of Bollywood stars in a charity football match at the Mumbai Football Arena in Andheri on June 4. The match termed as the ‘Celebrity Clásico 2016′ is played with an objective to generate funds for charitable initiatives.

The Virat Kohli Foundation and Abhishek Bachchan’s ‘Playing for Humanity’ are the foundations involved in the event, which will also feature an array of cricketing stars and Bollywood actors. Kohli will lead the ‘All Heart Football Club’ (a property of The Virat Kohli Foundation), and Abhishek Bachchan will be captaining the All Stars Football Club (run by playing for Humanity).

Apart from Kohli and Dhoni, other cricketing stars like Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Yuvraj Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, and R Ashwin will also be seen in action. From Bollywood, actors Ranbir Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapoor, and director Shoojit Sircar will take the field.
