Great song, but I wish they had included more regional languages. Cricket unites all of India, not just Hindi and English speakers. A Tamil or Punjabi verse from Anirudh himself would have been iconic.
The squad looks solid! Bumrah and Kuldeep back together. But the real thrill will be on Feb 15th in Colombo. Let's go, India! Make us proud and get that third trophy.
Watching from the US! So excited the tournament is partly here. The song has a great global vibe. Hoping for a good show from Team USA too, but my heart is with India!
Anirudh from "Why This Kolaveri Di" to the ICC World Cup anthem! What a journey. The video with past moments gave me goosebumps. Hope they add more behind-the-scenes of the recording.
Defending the title in Sri Lanka against Pakistan... the pressure is immense. But this team has the talent. The song sets the right tone - all about the thrill! Let's believe, boys.
