WTC Final: Fans seek updates of awaited Tamil movie 'Valimai' - see pictures

While the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) has been pestering India and New Zealand with the constant rain, Indian fans at the stadium, have a different dilemma altogether.

Fans at The Rose Bowl, Southampton have been constantly cheering their favourite teams through posters, banners, slogans, and even songs. 

However, some have a different question for these cricketers. While watching the historic game, an Indian fan showed a placard on which it was written, 'Valimai Update'.

Apparently, the fan was seeking updates for the upcoming Tamil movie Valimai, starring veteran actor Ajith Kumar.

The highly-awaited action-thriller has been in the works for over a year, but developments regarding the release date or the status of the movie are still not known.

Earlier this year, spectators also asked Ravichandran Ashwin and Moeen Ali about the movie during India vs England Test match in Chennai.

"I was standing at the boundary line when I heard someone calling me 'Thala Ashwin… Ashwin..' When I responded, the person asked me, 'What about Valimai update?' The next day, Moeen (Ali) asked me what is Valimai? Looks like the same crowd asked him about Valimai update too," Ashwin had revealed.

As for the WTC Final, Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson won the toss and opted to bowl first. While Day 1 was entirely washed out due to rain, the second day saw Indian batsmen score 146/3 at stumps. However, the Blackcaps bounced back on Day 3, and India were bundled out for a mere 217. 

Kane Williamson's men are now trailing by just 116 runs, and have eight wickets in hand. However, the track is still assisting the fast bowlers, and the Indian pacers will be on the hunt.
