Not Dua Lipa But...: Star-Studded Line-up Of Performers At Cricket World Cup 2023 Final Revealed
Cricket World Cup: There were rumours that pop star Dua Lipa may be one of the performers at the title clash
Ahead of the Cricket World Cup final in Ahmedabad between the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team and five-time champions Australia on Sunday, there were rumours that pop star Dua Lipa may be one of the performers at the title clash. However, according to the list of performers at the Cricket World Cup final released by BCCI on Saturday, Dua Lipa's name is not there. India have not won an ICC title since the 2013 Champions Trophy and Rohit Sharma's men have the chance to the end the drought in the Cricket World Cp final.
Former Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri who has been closely spectating India's journey backed the Men in Blue to lift the cup while focusing on the need to stick with their game.
"India will win the World Cup. They will start playing in the World Cup final as the favourites. They don't have to do anything different, they just have to continue what they are doing in the last two games. I want the team to be composed and calm, and handle the pressure. Every Indian cricketer is performing well in the tournament which is a great sign," Shastri told the media ahead of the title clash with Australia.
According to the BCCI, singer Jonita Gandhi, Music composer Pritam Chakraborty, Akasa Singh are among the performers for the final. Â
