Get ready for a visual extravaganza as India and Australia gear up for the World Cup 2023 final at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The BCCI has unveiled a star-studded list of events and celebrities, promising an unmatched grandeur for cricket enthusiasts.
On the eve of the final, the BCCI released a full list of events, ensuring a visual treat for the audience. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to grace the occasion, adding to the grandeur of the world’s largest cricket stadium. The Indian Air Force will stage a Suryakiran airshow after the toss at 1:30 pm IST, promising a 15-20 minute spectacle.
Cricket legends Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni, both former World Cup-winning captains, will be present in the stands, along with luminaries from the world of entertainment and politics. The innings break promises an entertainment bonanza featuring performances by Coke Studio’s Aditya Gadhavi and a lineup of Bollywood music maestros, including Pritam, Jonita Gandhi, Nakash Aziz, Akasa Joshi, Tushar Joshi, and Amit Mishra.
The extravagant event aims to showcase India’s soft power, providing a taste of the country’s cultural richness to the global audience. For the Australian team and viewers worldwide, this promises to be a unique blend of cricket and cultural spectacle.
The BCCI will honor World Cup-winning captains from 1975 to 2019 by presenting them with special blazers. Invited legends include Clive Lloyd, Kapil Dev, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, MS Dhoni, Michael Clarke, and Eoin Morgan. The presence of these cricket stalwarts adds a touch of nostalgia and reverence to the occasion.
As with every India match, the stadium and streets will be an ‘Ocean of Blue.’ The fervor has even led to a boom in the counterfeit industry, with jerseys featuring Virat Kohli’s No. 18 and Rohit Sharma’s No. 45 disappearing from street corners. The entire nation, from little ones to grandparents, is set to ‘Bleed Blue’ in support of the team.
It doesn't get any bigger than this 👌👌
