Twitterati have a field day with Chak De! India jokes after Sagarika Ghatge gets engaged cricketer Zaheer Khan

Sagarika Ghatge came into limelight after grabbing a meaty role in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Chak De! India in 2007. In the film, she played the character of an Indian hockey player Preeti Sabharwal who was dating the vice-captain of the Indian cricket team, Abhimanyu Singh. By the end of the movie, she breaks up with Abhimanyu for being non-supportive of her hockey career.

Ever since the news broke about Sagarika Ghatge's engagement to Indian Cricketer Zaheer Khan, Twitterverse is blowing up cracking the same Chak De jokes. Can you see the irony here? Everyone is making the same joke about Preeti Sabharwal finally getting married to a cricketer and it is hilarious.

@ImZaheer @sagarikavghatge So Preeti Sabharwal is marrying a cricketer...
