ICC World Cup 2023: Mastercard Release Special Anthem Enabling Fans To Relive India's 2011 Triumph - Watch

New Delhi, October 17: As the Indian cricket team continues its winning streak in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, Mastercard has released a special anthem to enable millions of cricket fans across the country to relive the 2011 triumph.

Rohit Sharma's men have started the home World Cup on a positive note, winning three of three matches to take the top spot in the standings. And as they aim to remain undefeated in their quest for a second successive home World Cup triumph, Mastercard has released a special anthem.

The special anthem features World Cup winning captain and Mastercard's brand ambassador, Mahendra Singh Dhoni recalling the moments leading to the historic win 12 years ago at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.

The video of the anthem shows scores of fans cheering for the Men in Blue as the team chased down Sri Lankan team's 275-run target to lift the coveted trophy. Powered by Mastercard's iconic Sonic brand tune, the anthem has been designed on the theme of 'Har fan hai priceless' (every fan is priceless).

It includes the former Indian skipper emphasizing that every cheer by cricket fans goes a long way in lifting the spirits of players. It further shows Dhoni remembering the moment when all Indian fans in the stadium began chanting 'Vande Mataram'. Here is the video:

"This anthem is a tribute by Mastercard to millions of India's cricket fans who breathe life into the game," said Julie Nestor, Executive Vice President and Head of Marketing & Communications, Asia Pacific, Mastercard.

"As ICC's global partner for this year's World Cup and a brand which has a strong connection with Indian cricket, Mastercard is committed to providing memorable opportunities and experiences to fans. The undying spirit and depth of emotions exhibited by fans in every match that India plays is simply priceless."

Men in Blue, who have remained perfect, having beaten Australia, Afghanistan and Pakistan in their three matches so far, will next face Bangladesh in the ICC World Cup 2023 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune on Thursday (October 18).
