It is worth mentioning that the upcoming ODI World Cup will be held in India from October 5 and will see a total of ten teams compete for the coveted trophy. The event will begin with England taking on New Zealand in the tournament opener.
With two months to go for the World Cup event, the ICC on Thursday (July 20) shared a video promo of the marquee tournament that took the internet by storm. The clip released by the cricket governing council featured one of Indian cinema’s most well-known faces Shah Rukh Khan, who also voiced the two-minute-long video.
In the promo, Shah Rukh narrates the emotions that arise during the world event as he says, “The difference between making history and being history: one day. Jerseys will be worn, and chests will swell with pride on that one day. Passion will triumph logic, and memories will be etched, on that one day. Fears will be conquered, and odds will be braved, on that one day. From the highs of joy, to the lows of anguish, it will all be embraced, on that one day.”
The Bollywood actor and the Kolkata Knight Rider (KKR) franchise co-owner further adds, “Rivalries will be redefined on the pitch and respect reimagined in the stands. The power of belief will emerge from the hearts of a billion. Songs will be sung, dances will be danced, and eyes will widen in wonder on that one day. And when that day comes, and when that day finally comes, glory will be immortalized.”
History will be written and dreams will be realised at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023
