In a moment that blended music, pride, and emotion, playback singer Sunidhi Chauhan performed the Indian national anthem ahead of the Women’s World Cup Final between India and South Africa. The atmosphere at DY Patil Stadium was electric as both teams lined up before a packed crowd, marking the culmination of an intense tournament.
Sunidhi’s powerful rendition set the tone for the high-stakes match, drawing loud cheers from fans waving the tricolour. Earlier, South Africa’s national anthem was sung by Tarryn Lamb, adding to the sense of grandeur surrounding the finale.
The emotional energy was palpable on both sides — South Africa’s Marizanne Kapp was seen holding back tears, while Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur looked visibly moved as her team prepared for the big game. The performance marked a symbolic moment of unity and national pride before the much-anticipated clash between two of the most consistent teams of the tournament.
