An old video from a match between India and Sri Lanka has resurfaced on social media on India's 77th Independence Day. Originally posted by the official BCCI handle on X in January 2020, the goosebumps-inducing video shows the crowd in the stadium in Guwahati singing Vande Mataram before the start of the play. This remains of the best crowd moments in Indian cricket history.

The video surfaced fans of the Indian Cricket Team signing Vande Mataram and flashing lights using their respective mobile phones, creating an atmosphere for the ages, before the Indians star players - Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant - entered the stadium.

Even the Indian trio felt the goosebumps because of the atmosphere created by the Guwahati crowd.

The World Cup trophy will not only be displayed in 20 cities across India but will also tour countries such as Bahrain, Kuwait, Papua New Guinea, Italy and Malaysia among other. The 2023 World Cup begins in October 5 and go on till November 19.
