Shah Rukh Khan while dictating the campaign poem says, “The difference between making history and being history, one day. Jerseys will be worn and chest will swell with pride on that one day. Memories will be etched on that one day. Fears will be conquered and odds will be braved on that one day. From the highs of joy and lows of anguish, it will all be embraced on that one day. Rivalries will be redefined on the pitch and respect reimagine in the stands. The power of belief will emerge from the hearts of a billion, songs will be sung, dancers will be danced and eyes will widen and wonder on that one day. When that day comes and when that day finally comes glory will be motorized. This is the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup for everything ever done for, wished for, lift for, it takes one day.”
