There will be a touch of Bollywood in this year’s cricket World Cup in the sub-continent. The celebrated Indian musical trio of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy will be composing the event’s official theme song titled De Ghumaa Ke with versions in Hindi, Bangla and Sinhalese.
All three versions will feature in the build-up to and during the tournament that will run from February 19 to April 2 in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
The ICC said in a statement in Dubai, De Ghumaa Ke is a passionate expression that creatively captures the fierce sense of competition and the desire to win. It literally means ‘Hit It Hard’.
The statement said that this local cricket euphemism is every fan’s wish and every cricketer’s intention as it encapsulates all that it takes to win a match. – (SMT)
