The BCCI initiative has received a lot of attention on Twitter. Fans appreciated the theme song and expressed the hope that the league would become a huge success.

“League anthem doesn’t mean you have to be doing fancy stuff, but it’s worth listening to lyrics and music better than many out there,” a Twitter user wrote.

“Awesome. We’re so used to the IPL tune that we may need some time to adjust to the new one. However, once we’re tuned in, this WPL anthem will light up the March WPL festival! “Another user added a comment.
