A World Cup song needs a soul, not just a beat drop. It’s a bit sad that for a tournament hosted in India and Sri Lanka, the sound is so 'globalized' that it loses its local heartbeat. Let's see if it grows on us Mahesh @Mroldschool23 @ICC Lol! He could have done better . Not a great composition by Anirudh Fahad Haq @Fahadkisuno @ICC ICC T20 WC 2026 anthem 'Feel The Thrill' by Anirudh just dropped... but bro, is it just me or does this feel like random beats with 'thrill' thrown in? 😭 Not matching the hype of past ones like 2024's Out Of This World. Need more fire! 🔥 What do you rate it? #T20WorldCup2026 PassionForCricket @SachinN35690455 @ICC Not Anirudh’s best work. The Hindi lyrics sound like a dubbed version. just_for_fun @just99920725 @ICC India v S/A promo by Jio hotstar looks better than this !!
