Arijit Singh's Mesmerizing Performance Ahead Of India And Pakistan World Cup 2023 Clash. WATCH

The likes of Sunidhi Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhwinder Singh were also part of the grand opening of the India vs Pakistan clash.

The Indian team are currently locking horns with Pakistan at the iconic  Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Ahead of the India vs Pakistan clash, a massive mooning ceremony took place where famous Bollywood singer Arijit Singh graced the stag, mesmerizing the crowd with his magical voice. He also went on to sing India’s national song 'Vande Mataram' ahead of the toss.

Since the pre-match show was slated to take place for this game, the BCCI and ICC decided not to organise an opening ceremony for the World Cup. The likes of Sunidhi Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhwinder Singh were also part of the grand opening of the India vs Pakistan clash.

Talking about the game, skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first against Pakistan in front of 120,000 fans on Saturday. India’s opener batter Shubman Gill returned to the Indian side and replaced Ishan Kishan who played in the first two games for India.

The Punjab-based batter missed out on playing the first two matches against Australia and Afghanistan due to dengue. Now that he is fully recovered, he cannot wait to ply his trade against the arch-rivals Pakistan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

"Cannot get bigger than this, fantastic atmosphere," India's skipper Rohit Sharma said at the toss as the home crowd cheered.

"Sure lot of us are going to experience something really extraordinary", Rohit added.
