Kohli will lead the All Heart Football Club, while the Bollywood hero will captain the All Stars Football Club, reported Press Trust of India. The charity match will not only be headlined by India cricketers, but also Bollywood actors, including Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor, which will make matters even more interesting.
