The entire world is anticipating the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup, which will be held in the USA and the West Indies. In a stirring marketing film, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan lends his legendary voice to promote the Indian squad.
Star Sports published a promo for “Maha-Yudh” (The Great War), in which the renowned actor delivers a stirring monologue aimed at inspiring the Men in Blue for the major event. “Battle happens every day, but an epic war is a true test,” Bachchan declares in the opening line of the ad. The promotional material generates enthusiasm among the spectators by featuring highlights of Indian players including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, and Jasprit Bumrah from past World Cups.
The struggles that will be fueled by adrenaline are vividly depicted in Amitabh Bachchan’s monologue. This is where the heat and adrenaline will climax. Hold their heads up; even the Bravehearts are going to lose.”

The promo’s timing couldn’t be better, since Team India just revealed their 15-man T20 World Cup roster, which includes four traveling reserves. The BCCI also made the team’s distinctive tournament uniform public.

Group A includes Pakistan, Ireland, the United States, and Canada, in addition to the 2007 champions. The top two teams from each group will move on to the Super Eight stage, after which they’ll be divided into two groups of four, with the top two teams going on to the semi-finals and, on June 29, the grand final.
India will look to win both their first ICC crown in 11 years and their second T20 World Cup in history, having won the first one in 2007 after suffering a devastating defeat in the final of the 50-over World Cup last year.
