ICC unveils official song ‘Feel the Thrill’ ahead of T20 World Cup 2026
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday released “Feel the Thrill,” the official song for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, setting the stage for a month-long celebration of cricket in India and Sri Lanka, 24NewsHD TV reported.
Composed and performed by acclaimed Indian musician Anirudh Ravichander, the energetic track is now available on digital platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, YouTube Music, Instagram, and Facebook.
The song captures the intensity and drama of T20 cricket, with lyrics such as “this is where national pride swings with every shot / Where passion hits as hard as the ball,” and the tagline: “when nations collide, action isn’t watched, it’s lived.”
“ICC’s pinnacle events are global cultural extravaganzas, with a compelling athletic spectacle at their heart,” ICC CEO Sanjog Gupta said.
“The official song for the tournament brings this spirit to life, connecting fans worldwide and celebrating diversity.”
Ravichander said the anthem reflects the shared emotion of cricket: “Every cheer, every silence, every heartbeat connects in the same tune. This is our attempt to bring global fans together, above the fierce on-field rivalry.”
The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will begin on February 7, promising high-octane action across eight venues in seven cities, including the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Eden Gardens in Kolkata, and Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium.
India enters the tournament as defending champions, aiming to become the first host nation to lift the trophy at home, with tickets starting from one US dollar to 10 dollars.
