The ongoing Asia Cup 2023 has been an incredibly exciting event so far, and it reached new heights of excitement during the India vs. Pakistan match. The DJ at the Pallekele Stadium started playing the famous devotional track ‘Ram Siya Ram‘ every time the Indian cricket team scored a boundary.
This added to the joy of Indian fans and the electric atmosphere in the stadium. This song, a well-known Hindu devotional melody, became a way to celebrate Indian victories.
The DJ’s Changing Tune
Initially, when the Pakistani team was taking early wickets during the Indian innings, the DJ played songs to support the Indian team. However, when India made a strong comeback, thanks to the partnership between Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan, the tunes changed.
