T20 World Cup 2022: It is a no-brainer that cricket is a religion in India and it unites the nation like nothing else does. It was a fanfare when India clashed with Pakistan on October 23, 2022, at the mighty Melbourne Cricket Ground. The men in blue playing the boys in green is always a special occasion and somehow invokes a sense of pride & patriotism in cricket fans. Due to political conflicts, India doesn't play Pakistan that often except for ICC (International Cricket Council) ICC events and the Asia Cup.
In the 2021 edition of the ICC T20 World Cup, Pakistan defeated India by a margin of 10 wickets, but this was payback time. All of us saw how emotional Rohit Sharma was when the Indian National Anthem ended. He could feel the pride, the euphoria, the joy of representing the country and leading his troops on the biggest stage of them all, the stage of the T20 World Cup. It was not only Rohit Sharma who was singing the national, anthem that day but it was also a crowd of over 90,000 people who joined him and shared the moment. Recently, a video has been doing the rounds of social media where Indian fans are singing the Indian National Anthem. Even if you watch it on your screens, it is almost given that it is enough to give you goosebumps.
