Great entertainment, but I hope the focus remains on the cricket. The team needs to win this match, not just a musical show. The batting collapse against SA was worrying.

As a huge fan of both Anirudh and cricket, this is a dream combo! Tickets are sold out, but will be watching from home. Hope the team channels this energy into a big win.

Respectfully, while I enjoy Anirudh's music, I feel these pre-match concerts are becoming a distraction. The players should be in the zone, focusing on the game plan, not a concert. Just my two paise.
