Amitabh Bachchan sings the Indian national anthem at Eden Gardens

The host nation, India took on their arch-rivals, Pakistan on 19 March 2016 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. It was a must-win game for the 'Men in Blue’ who had previously lost their inaugural match against New Zealand by 47 runs. The Pakistani side, on the other hand, was brimming with confidence after having beaten Bangladesh by 55 runs at the same venue.

The stage was set as the magnificent Eden Gardens was filled to the brim cheering for their favourite 'Men in Blue’ all along the course of the match. Although a heavy thundershower reduced the length of the match to 18-over-a-side, it couldn't even create a dent to the atmosphere of the ground.

Moreover, Amitabh Bachchan's rendition of the Indian national anthem before the start of play was more than enough to give goosebumps to the 1.3 billion Indians present all over the globe and make them ready to get behind the back of their cricketing idols.
