It was a colourful and heartfelt send off for the Indian cricket team embarking on their World Cup mission, as superstar Shah Rukh Khan voiced the feelings of scores of countrymen, advising the Men in Blue to "do your best and leave the rest."

"I dont' know a lot about sports, but I do know that it is not about winning and losing. It is about the belief that every sportsman has and the effort they put in. I just want to say to Rahul (Dravid) and the boys, that they should just do their best and leave the rest," Khan told almost the entire cricket team, including captain Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, at a function here.

The function was organised by soft drinks major Pepsi on the eve of the team's departure for the West Indies.

As some of India's top artistes including Shankar Mahadevan and Adnan Sami performed some foot-tapping numbers for the scores of fans gathered at the venue, actress Priyanka Chopra also put in an appearance to wish the team all the success in Caribbean.

Standing next to Dravid on stage, Khan even apologised to the team on behalf of the media, saying "sometimes we may have said rude and demeaning things about the team when they lose, but let me tell you that we take it all back. We love you and we hope you bring back the World Cup."

Looking dapper in a blue India T-shirt, Dravid thanked Khan and scores of fans for the wishes saying "these wishes of a billion people will definitely help us in the World Cup when we go out and do our best."

Other members of the Indian team tapping and moving to the beats of the songs were Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Tendulkar and S Sreesanth.
