Indian singing star Sunidhi Chauhan will delight the crowd with a medley of her biggest hits at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 Final to be played between India and South Africa in Navi Mumbai on Sunday.
Chauhan, a household name in India, will be accompanied by a group of 60 dancers, and the show will also feature a special-effect fireworks display by famed choreographer Sanjay Shetty.
The performance will include a laser show; 350 mast cast performers and a drone display during the mid-innings at the DY Patil Stadium.
Sunidhi will also sing the Indian national anthem before the match, while the South African anthem will be performed by Cape Town’s Tarynn Bank.
Chauhan said she was eagerly awaiting her performance at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup Final.
Sunidhi Chauhan said: “It’s an honour to be performing at the Women’s World Cup and I am really looking forward to the big day.
“With India in the final and the stands packed with enthusiastic fans, I’m sure the atmosphere will be electric, and it will be a day all of us will remember for long.”
Sunidhi is one of India’s most iconic voices, with more than 50 million records sold worldwide and numerous prestigious awards to her name.
She began her career at just 13, rising to instant fame with the hit Ruki Ruki Si Zindagi from the film Mast.
A winner of India’s first televised singing competition, Meri Aawaz Suno, judged by the legendary Lata Mangeshkar, Sunidhi’s journey has been one of constant evolution.
She made history by opening for Coldplay in New York in 2015 and has been featured four times in Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list.

She has also served as a judge on The Voice India and Indian Idol, mentoring and inspiring emerging talent.

The same whistle is blown at the start of each world cup – This is without a doubt one of our favourite rugby facts. Welsh referee Gil Evans used the same whistle to preside over Rugby games for 20 years, donating it to the New Zealand Rugby Museum in 1969. The tradition was revived for the 1987 Rugby World Cup, and the whistle has been used for every tournament since. Best not to think about how hygienic that 100-year-old whistle is.

As a pioneering force in the world of rugby, England played a key role in the establishment of the International Rugby Board (IRB) in 1886. The IRB, now known as World Rugby, serves as the international governing body for the sport, overseeing its rules, regulations, and competitions.
