Ecstatic at India8217;s World cup winning feat after 28 years,Superstar Shahrukh Khan,an ardent cricket fan,on Sunday said that the tattoo on his hand depicting alphabet 8216;D8217; would now mean 8216;Dhoni8217;.

King Khan sports the 8216;D8217; tattoo on his right hand,as a part of the look for Farhan Akhtar8217;s upcoming action-thriller film 8216;Don 2: The Chase Continues8217;.

But with Mahendra Singh Dhoni8217;s men beating Sri Lanka in the World Cup final last night,Shah Rukh said the tatoo would now mean 8216;Dhoni8217;.

8220;Thank you team India. I am very happy and proud of the Indian team. We have been waiting for this moment since 1983. The 8216;D8217; tattoo on my hand would now change from 8216;Don8217; and mean 8216;Dhoni8217;,8221; Shahrukh said,talking to media last night.

Like several fans,Shahrukh celebrated India8217;s World Cup victory last night shouting from the roof of his car and waving the tricolour.

8220;I am too happy. I congratulate Sachin8230; and my love for Gautam and the entire team. Chak De India,8221; Shahrukh said.

Shahrukh was keen to watch the match at Wankhede,but he suffered a hairline toe fracture while shooting,which stopped him from cheering for Dhoni8217;s men at the stadium.
