As cricket fans worldwide eagerly await the start of the ODI World Cup 2023, excitement continues to mount. The highly anticipated multi-team tournament is scheduled to kick off on October 5, with India serving as the exclusive host nation.
In a move to heighten the anticipation and fervor surrounding the tournament, the International Cricket Council (ICC) recently unveiled the official anthem for ODI World Cup 2023. Titled ‘Dil Jashn Bole,’ the anthem made its debut on social media platforms on Wednesday, September 20, creating quite a buzz among cricket enthusiasts.
Anthem features Bollywood superstar and YouTubers
The anthem’s music video stars none other than Bollywood sensation Ranveer Singh, adding star power to the tournament’s promotional efforts. Joining him in the video are Dhanashree Verma, the wife of Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, and several popular YouTubers, including Flying Beast, also known as Gaurav Taneja, and BeYouNick, aka Nikunj Lotia. The anthem was composed by the renowned music director Pritam, further enhancing its appeal.

Unfortunately for the anthem’s creators, many fans expressed their dissatisfaction, leading to a flood of humorous memes that humorously depicted their reactions.
Fans shared a range of humorous memes, using clever humor to express their feelings about the anthem. Some fans went as far as to draw comparisons between ‘Dil Jashn Bole’ and the anthems from previous World Cup editions, particularly the popular anthems from the 2011 and 2015 tournaments.
