The Indian women’s cricket team had a surprise visitor ahead of their ICC Women’s World Cup opener against Sri Lanka on Tuesday in Guwahati. Singer Shreya Ghoshal, who was in the city to deliver a live rendition of the Indian national anthem before the India Women versus Sri Lanka Women game, dropped by in the Indian team’s dressing room.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India’s official Twitter handle posted a video of Ghoshal’s visit to the dressing room with a caption: “Starting our campaign with melodious vibes. When Shreya Ghoshal visited the Team India dressing room.”

Ghoshal sang two songs for the Indian team, including Piyu Bole from Parineeta. The song ended with all the members of the Indian team joining in. After that, Ghoshal also wowed the team by singing the official ODI World Cup anthem, ‘Bring It Home’. As soon as she ended the song, India star Jemimah Rodrigues stood up on a chair and told Ghoshal, “Aap Mumbai aa sakte ho, ma’m” — a reference to popular reality show Indian Idol, where she is a judge and contestants who impress the judges in auditions are asked to come to Mumbai for the next round.

At one point, Smriti Mandhana and Rodrigues tell Ghoshal that one of their teammates, Radha Yadav, is such a big fan of her that even if she hums a tune, she would go crazy.
At this, Ghoshal hums a tune much to the delight of the Indian team who burst out in applause and laughs. Radha Yadav is seen blushing throughout.
Ghoshal also shared a big hug with the Indian team captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
