The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday shared the promotional video of the ICC Men’s World Cup 2023, featuring Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and several personalities from the cricket fraternity. The mega event will begin October 5 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad with defending champions England locking horns with last edition’s runners-up, New Zealand.

The 2 minutes 13 seconds-long video starts with World Cup-winning England captain Eoin Morgan introducing the prestigious trophy and then it goes on to capture the emotions of the tournament through some breathtaking visuals from the past editions, including MS Dhoni’s run-out in 2019 that dashed India’s dreams of winning third title.

Meanwhile, the likes of Dinesh Karthik, former South Africa cricketers JP Duminy and Jonty Rhodes, Sri Lankan spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan and India’s Jemimah Rodrigues and Shubman Gill also featured in the video that ensures goosebumps. Shah Rukh Khan’s mesmerising voice has made the promo livelier as one can feel the anticipation of the upcoming tournament which promises an electrifying experience for more than a month.

“History will be written and dreams will be realised at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. All it takes is just one day,” ICC captioned the video on Twitter.

Meanwhile, BCCI retweeted the post and quoted, “Get ready to witness history in India.”
