Cricket and music fans alike have something to look forward to at the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Super 8 match between India and Zimbabwe in Chennai on February 26, 2026. India Today reports that acclaimed music composer and singer Anirudh Ravichander will take the stage at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) to deliver a live performance of the official ICC anthem “Feel the Thrill.”
The song, created as the official event anthem for the ICC T20 World Cup, blends energetic beats and lyrics celebrating national pride and the unifying spirit of cricket. Feel the Thrill captures tournament excitement with lines that reflect the emotional highs of the game — from roaring crowds to the collective heartbeat of fans.
Anirudh, known for his dynamic compositions and stage presence, both composed and performs the anthem, which has become a defining soundtrack for this year’s ICC event. His involvement is part of a broader effort by the ICC to fuse cultural elements like music with the tournament’s sporting spectacle, enhancing the live experience for spectators in the stadium.
The performance promises to be a standout moment at Chepauk — setting the tone for the match and amplifying fan excitement before the first ball is bowled. With India and Zimbabwe set to battle it out in the Super 8 stage, the anthem performance underlines the growing role of music in elevating cricket entertainment on the global stage.
