An India vs Pakistan cricket match is always one of the most anticipated fixtures in any tournament. The two rivals faced off during the ongoing T20 World Cup on Sunday, February 15. Although India is hosting the tournament, the match was held in Colombo due to strained political relations between the two countries. Thousands of cricket enthusiasts arrived at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, to witness the high-voltage clash.\
Before the game, Indian rapper Hanumankind, whose real name is Sooraj Cherukat, amped up the atmosphere with a fiery pre-match performance. He performed some of his popular tracks, including Big Dawgs and Run It Up. However, fans noticed that he did not perform his recent hit Dhurandhar, the title track from Aditya Dhar’s blockbuster Dhurandhar.
