How Bengaluru band Savaari’s anthem resonated with Team India’s World Cup performance
The HinduPruthvi Mangiri, the drummer and one of the founders of the Bengaluru-based multilingual fusion band Savaari, listened to the official anthem of the 2023 Cricket World Cup while commuting. The anthem, titled ‘It’s World Cup Time’, is accompanied by visuals of the men in the band playing gully cricket with a tennis ball, a small, gripless bat, and two vertically arranged building blocks as makeshift stumps. Much like the aspirations of Indian supporters, Savaari’s dreams of witnessing Rohit and his teammates hoist the silver-and-gold trophy were extinguished by the outstanding performance of the Australian team. For, the last stanza begins with the line, ‘If not now then we’ll have to; Wait for four more years.’ Despite the defeat, Pruthvi asserts that the Indian team’s campaign remains truly inspirational.
