"Time for Thor to give up his hammer," the fan wrote in his caption of the tweet as he tagged the actor in his post after Mirabai Chanu won India's first gold medal at this year's Games in England.
"She is worthy! Congrats, Saikhom, you legend," Hemsworth said in his response to the fan's message on the micro-blogging website.
