“It was not India vs Australia, it was Australia vs Sachin” – Amit Trivedi reveals the cricketing moment he venerates

Join me @T20WorldCup & @starsportsindia to cheer for your favourite teams with the ICC Men's #T20WorldCup 2021 Anthem! 🎵🔥 I will be cheering for #TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/a1MJIZ2Yaw— Amit Trivedi (@ItsAmitTrivedi) October 10, 2021
Amit Trivedi revealed that apart from the World Cup victory, he will always cherish Sachin Tendulkar’s superb performance against Australia, perhaps mention to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series of 1999-2000. The ‘Little Master’ was India’s most productive batter in that series and was often performing a lone hand.
“Oh my god, there are so many of them (favorite moments). I’ve always cherished the series that was played in Australia where Sachin Tendulkar was at his peak. Everybody was getting out but he wasn’t. I think Steve Waugh was the captain at the time. It was not India vs Australia at the time, it was Australia vs Sachin Tendulkar. It was the most iconic series ever.”
Upon being requested whether he’d like to perform against any Indian cricketers in a friendly game, Amit Trivedi joyfully stated how he would not have a chance against the experienced cricketers. Instead, he stated his hope to invite them to one of his concerts.
“Me? No chance! (laughs). I can ask them for a concert – to come to my concert but no match. I am nobody to play a match against these stalwarts.”
Lastly, Amit Trivedi detailed what went on behind the scenes when he calm the official anthem for the T20 World Cup, which was staged in UAE, in the last half of 2021.
“Oh, that was a lot of fun. Plenty of back and forth with the ICC team from all over the world. It was good fun chatting with them and talking to them about their ideas and thoughts and everything. I wish that could’ve happened, but that didn’t happen (on whether any Indian cricketer reacted to that song personally).”
The Indian national cricket team will upcoming be seen in action in a high-octane clash against Pakistan in the 2022 Asia Cup, on Sunday, August 28. The Men in Blue will look for precise revenge for their loss in the 2021 T20 World Cup the previous year to Babar Azam’s team.
