With two weeks  left until the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 kicks off, the event’s official anthem ‘Dil Jashn Bole’ has been released.

Cricket’s global governing body in a media statement from Dubai said the anthem is the result of a fantastic collaboration, starring superstar Ranveer Singh in the lead role with sensational music created by Pritam, one of Bollywood’s most coveted composers.

The anthem takes fans on an epic journey through India on board the One Day Express, witnessing a never seen before celebration ahead of the biggest Cricket World Cup ever, starting next month in India.

‘Dil Jashn Bole’ is available on streaming platforms Spotify, Apple Music, JioSaavn, Gaana, Hungama, Resso, Wynk, Amazon Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Fans can soon enjoy listening to the anthem on radio stations Big FM and Red FM also, ICC said.

Pritam said, “Cricket is India’s greatest passion and composing ‘Dil Jashn Bole’ for the biggest World Cup ever, has been a tremendous honour for me. This song is not just for 1.4 billion Indian fans but for the whole world to come to India and be a part of the biggest celebration ever.”

Fans worldwide have been also invited to take part by showcasing their creative interpretations of the hook-step in diverse global locations, the ICC statement added.

Whether it’s cricket stadiums, educational institutions, iconic landmarks, or historical monuments, the stage is theirs. Fans need to simply team up with a friend, capture their unique hook-step performance, and share it on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #CWC23. The most captivating videos will be curated to craft a collective Fan Anthem, showcasing the world’s enthusiasm for all to witness.
