[WATCH] ICC Unveils Official T20 World Cup 2026 Anthem By Renowned Indian Composer

With the T20 World Cup 2026 just days from getting underway, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the official anthem for the marquee tournament. Titled ‘Feel the Thrill’, the song has been composed by well-known Indian musician Anirudh Ravichander.

Anirudh has also provided vocals for the track. The English lyrics are written by Heisenberg, while the Hindi version has been penned by Raqueeb Alam.

With this, Anirudh becomes the latest Indian music director to create the official theme for a home World Cup, joining the likes of Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, who composed the anthem for the 2011 ODI World Cup, and Pritam, who did so for the 2023 edition.

The ICC shared a post on X while unveiling the official anthem for the T20 World Cup 2026:

“A song made for the biggest stage. The wait is over. The magic is here. Presenting the Official Event Song of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Feel it. Sing it. Live it.”
