Musician and composer Anirudh Ravichander is all set to perform live at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on February 26 ahead of the India vs Zimbabwe clash. The singer is going to lighten up the mood before the crucial clash of the hosts. Anirudh sang and composed the anthem of the T20 World Cup 2026 and since Chennai is his home turf, he'll be performing live.

ICC has given an update on the performance and the start time is 6 PM IST. The fans who are interested to watch the live show can be there in the stadium by 5,30 PM to settle down and watch Anirudh perform. The event will be followed by toss at 6.30 PM IST and the match will start at 7 PM IST.

The players will surely enjoy the live performance before the high-intensity match. The Indian team's embarrasing defeat against South Africa by 76 runs might cost them their chance to qualify for the knockouts. Hence, they'll hope to win the upcoming matches to make their way into the semi-finals.

Can India beat Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup 2026?

If we look at India's playing XI, they seem to have issues with the performance of the top-order batters while the middle order players have mostly handled the game well. It is Abhishek Sharma's form that has been quite concerning in the last few matches. However, if we take a closer look at the team's performance it has been incredible. The bowlers have performed in every match.

Hence, in tomorrow's match against Zimbabwe, the batting will be tested because they too have a good bowling line up. Except for the match against West Indies, Zimbabwe did perform brilliantly in the World Cup. Their batting might be weak but bowling is phenomenal. Hence, it will be an interesting encounter.
