'History will be written ...': ICC shares World Cup video featuring Shah Rukh Khan
The World Cup 2023 will start on October 5 when England will face New Zealand.
With just over two months to go for the World Cup, the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday shared a picture of Shah Rukh Khan, along with the much-coveted trophy. The official Twitter handle of ICC has now shared a video, as part of their "It Takes One Day" campaign, in the run-up to the 2023 World Cup. The footage encapsulates some of the most remarkable moments in the illustrious history of the World Cup.
In a bid to make the campaign more gripping, the ICC decided to cast Shah Rukh, along with the current World Cup-winning skipper Eoin Morgan, in the video. Apart from former England captain Morgan, other stalwarts like Muttiah Muralitharan, Jonty Rhodes are also seen in the clip. “History will be written and dreams will be realised at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. All it takes is just one day,” read the tweet shared by ICC.
How did Twitter react?
The post went viral in no time garnering more than 322.5K views and still counting.
While a section of social media was in awe of the ICC’s promotional video, others could not refrain from showering praise on Shah Rukh Khan.
