In 2007, the country saw the beautiful ICC T20 World Cup trophy and fell in love with it at first sight. From the six sixes by Yuvraj Singh to Sreesanth’s catch in the final, this love affair has seen many beautiful moments.

As a new chapter in this love story is approaching – the promo film showcases how the love for this great prize captures the Indian imagination. The film encapsulates the essence of ardent devotion, depicting everyday individuals, from young children to seasoned veterans, enthusiastically honing their cricketing skills. Whether it's swinging an invisible bat, perfecting bowling run-ups, or practicing fielding drills, the film portrays the indelible bond between the nation and its favourite pastime, and how the excitement is peaking as the ICC T20 World Cup approaches.
