Ekana Stadium was the place to be on Sunday as India faced off against Lucknow in the ODI World Cup 2023 contest. Not only did the BCCI organise a wonderful light show which enthralled fans at the venue during the mid-innings break, but the DJ at the venue started playing the iconic ‘chale chalo’ song from the movie Lagaan as England found themselves in all kinds of trouble, chasing India’s target of 230 runs.
For the unversed, the Bollywood epic Lagaan featured the connection of India and England, dating back to the pre-independence era. In the end, the Indians had prevailed in the movie, and fans on social media demanded ‘teen guna lagaan’ as Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue locked horns with the defending champions.
Jos Buttler and Co. found themselves reeling at 81/6 when Moeen Ali was dismissed and the DJ at the venue decided to play the iconic song ‘Chale Chalo’ from the movie Lagaan which aptly reflected on the situation of the contest and it also pleased the crowd.

India vs England Live Score Updates
India were edging close to their sixth consecutive victory in the ODI World Cup 2023 as England collapsed to 98/7 chasing 230 when Ravindra Jadeja hunted Chris Woakes as the defending champs were staring at a fourth consecutive defeat.
Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah picked up two wickets to leave Buttler and Co. stunned as Dawid Malan and Joe Root departed on back-to-back deliveries. Shami then joined the party by getting rid of Stokes, and Jonny Bairstow.
When Kuldeep Yadav rattled Butter with an unplayable delivery and castled the England captain, the 2019 World Cup champions found themselves staring down the barrel as the scoreboard read 52/5.
From there onwards, it was all India as the bowlers continued to dominate proceedings.
