The ODI World Cup 2023, a once every four years spectacular, is due to begin on October 5 with a high-octane match between England and New Zealand, the winners of the previous tournament. None other than Ahmedabad’s famous Narendra Modi Stadium serves as the venue for this cricket extravaganza.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have jointly arranged a star-studded opening ceremony, which is set for October 4. Before the battles on the field begin, however, cricket fans and aficionados can anticipate.
The dramatic curtain-raiser promises to be nothing short of a visual feast, including a galaxy of Bollywood stars in addition to the ten captains who will lead their various countries into war, including the charismatic Rohit Sharma.
Superstar Ranveer Singh, the illustrious Asha Bhosle, the melodic Shreya Ghoshal, the heartthrob Arijit Singh, the stunning Tamannaah Bhatia, and Shankar Mahadevan, the composer of the 2011 World Cup song, are just a few of the notables attending this event. Pritam, the singer and writer of this edition’s theme song, “Dil Jashn Bole,” is also anticipated to be a part of the glitzy program.
