In an electrifying build-up to the highly-anticipated India vs Pakistan World Cup clash, cricket fans are in for a musical treat at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Renowned Indian singer Arijit Singh, along with other musical maestros like Shreya Ghoshal, Shankar Mahadevan, Asha Bhosle, Sukhwinder Singh, Ranveer Singh, and Tamannaah Bhatia, will be gracing the event with live performances.

Both India and Pakistan have kicked off their World Cup campaigns on a winning note, securing victories in their first two games. As the cricketing world eagerly awaits this historic clash, the organisers have pulled out all the stops to make the event unforgettable.

Earlier, the absence of an official opening ceremony for the World Cup had initially left fans disappointed, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is now determined to make the marquee matchday a spectacle to remember. The iconic Narendra Modi Stadium is set to transform into a vibrant hub of entertainment and cricketing fervour.

The star-studded lineup of performers promises to add an extra layer of excitement to the atmosphere. Arijit Singh celebrated for his soul-stirring melodies, will serenade the audience with his enchanting voice. Meanwhile, Shankar Mahadevan, a musical legend in his own right, will take the stage to enthral the crowd with his spellbinding compositions.
