The ‘Dhurandhar’ Factor: Why This Performance Could be Controversial
The selection of “Dhurandhar” is extremely meaningful considering the song’s connection to a movie that is said to have been banned in Pakistan. Many interpret the BCCI as boldly declaring their intention by showcasing Hanumankind and this particular track right before the toss.
This song, which includes intense lyrics and beats that hit hard, will presumably evoke a fighting spirit at the Premadasa Stadium. Social media fans have noticed the irony of “Hanuman” shining the “Lanka” once again, thus forming a story that integrates contemporary pop culture with the subcontinental intensity.

Hanumankind to Ignite the R. Premadasa Atmosphere
The show is planned to start at 6 PM IST, exactly an hour before the first ball is bowled. The pre-match entertainment at this first huge-scale ICC event is also being looked at not just as a musical show; it is being seen as a way to “psych” the opposition.
While the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is still engrossed with the winding pitch in Colombo, the arrival of India’s biggest global hip hop export to sing a “banned” song has brought in an unprecedented aspect of drama to a contest that was already the most-awaited game of the T20 World Cup 2026.
