“I really feel the love here” – When Ed Sheeran expressed his love for India

Ed Sheeran expressed his gratitude for the warmth he received from Indian fans during his multi-city concerts earlier this year. He said (via Hindustan Times):

“I really feel the love here, in India. Sometimes you can play in places, and people can be very subdued. Like, even if they are feeling the vibe inside them, you can never read how people feel." "I have played in certain countries where people have a subdued reaction, but here, in India, it’s a vibrant country. People are so excited! I have the same personality, so I like that,” he added.

During his stint, Sheeran met several B-Town celebrities in India, including Shah Rukh Khan and Kapil Sharma.

Meanwhile, in the fourth Test, India were 294/4 at the time of writing, with Washington Sundar (41) and Ravindra Jadeja (42) at the crease. They are trailing by 17 runs.

The tourists must win or draw the game against England to stay alive in the five-match series. They are trailing by 1-2 following a 22-run loss in the third Test at Lord’s. India's only win came in the second Test at Edgbaston, where they won by 336 runs.
