After the ICC released the official anthem for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023 on September 20, fans online have started to question the ICC’s allegiance. The 3-minute anthem titled ‘Dil Jashn Bole’ features Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh and a bevy of social media influencers.
The involvement and focus on these influencers have made fans wonder: Who is this anthem made for?
Shockingly, the whole anthem features just a couple of past or present cricketers and hardly any reference to the memorable past of the ODI World Cups.
