It’s a heartfelt gesture that goes beyond cricket paying homage to the courage and sacrifice of those who serve the nation, while also celebrating the unifying spirit of sport.
Shankar Mahadevan, known for his soaring vocals and deep connection with patriotic themes, is expected to deliver a performance that will resonate far beyond the stadium. From iconic tracks like “Breathless” to the goosebump-inducing “Maa Tujhe Salaam,” Mahadevan has long been a voice of emotion and pride for India. This tribute is poised to be one of his most meaningful yet.
