Digital Desk: Despite the fact that
India was eliminated from the T20 World Cup after a 10-wicket defeat to England
in the semi-finals, an Indian voice will be the center of attention during the
world cup's closing ceremony at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Janaki
Easwar, a 13-year-old Australian girl of Indian descent who rose to prominence
on Australia's world-famous reality show 'The Voice,' will perform at the
Twenty20 World Cup final. She will perform with the Australian rock band
Icehouse.
Janaki will perform during "Icehouse's We Can Get
Together," the evening's second song, which will also feature
Zimbabwean-born Thando Sikwila.
"It will be
an incredible experience to perform in front of a massive MCG crowd and also be
broadcast to millions of people around the world. My parents are die-hard
cricket fans. They were the ones who informed me of the significance of this
opportunity. I've heard that the tickets are already gone. I'm looking forward
to both the performance and the game. However, it would have been preferable if
India had competed in the final, as Janaki stated.
From singing in raag Kamas on The Voice Australia to confidently
capturing the essence of Billie Eilish with a cover of "Lovely,"
singer-songwriter Janaki Easwar has leaned on her Indian and Australian
upbringing without hesitation, according to the pop culture magazine Rolling
Stone India. While she quickly became a sensation in Australia after impressing
coaches such as Keith Urban, Rita Ora, and Jessica Mauboy in 2021, she's
recently made inroads into India with televised performances in Kerala.
Anoop Divakaran and Divya Raveendran, Janaki's parents, are from
Kozhikode, Kerala, and have lived in Australia for the past 15 years. Janaki
was introduced to Indian music by her parents, and when she was five, she began
taking Carnatic singing lessons.
According to the
Official ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 Website, the pre-match celebrations will
honour each World Cup team and will weave together artists who represent
multicultural Australia. The celebrations, which will be broadcast to millions
of people globally, will also incorporate instruments, dancers, and sounds from
around the world, bringing the iconic MCG to life before the cricket takes
centre stage.
The T20 World Cup final will be played
between Pakistan and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground today. Pakistan
defeated New Zealand in the semi-final, while Jos Buttler-led England thrashed
India to make their entry in the summit clash. However, for the final, a rain
threat looms large, with the weather forecast suggesting chances of rain on Sunday.
It is important to note that there is a reserve day in place on Monday, in
case, a match cannot happen on the scheduled day.
