The International Cricket Council (ICC) released the official anthem of the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup on Wednesday (September 20). The song's video features Bollywood star Ranveer Singh and a couple of online influencers like Dhanashree Verma, wife of India leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal.
Bollywood musician Pritam composed the song and was also one of the singers. Nakash Aziz, Sreerama Chandra, Amit Mishra, Jonita Gandhi, AKASA, and Charan also lent vocals for the anthem. Shloke Lal and Saaveri Verma wrote the lyrics for the song.
Cricket fans watched the anthem and then took to social media platforms to give their reviews. Some liked it, while others felt it was not up to the standards set by the anthems from the previous World Cups.
The majority opined that the 2011 anthem composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy was far better than the latest one. Here are some fan reactions to the song:
