The BCCI has planned a glamorous Closing ceremony for the World Cup. Be it air shows by fighter jets, Bollywood stars in attendance, Top musicians and singers performing to unique laser and lighting shows, a festive mood is set to be in store for the fans.
The Indian Cricket Team is currently in red hot. They are on a 10-match unbeaten streak and will face the mighty Aussies in the Finals. India has a golden chance to avenge their 2003 finals defeat this time. Furthermore, since India last won the World Cup back in 2011, 12 years have passed and in the 2 World Cups in between, India has failed to make it to either one final after being ousted in the semis on both occasions.
