The most-heated clash between India vs Pakistan on the grounds of the United States of America just got more energy as ICC introduced AP Dhillon, the Punjabi pop star, to the 34,000-strong audience. The fans could not ask for a better start to the match than the igniting lyrics of Dhillon.
The T20 World Cup posted images of AP Dhillon on its social media account that said, “A star-studded affair in New York. AP Dhillon is at the Nassau County International Cricket stadium for the iconic #INDvPAK clash.”
Recently the Indo-Canadian singer received backlash from the internet for smashing his guitar after his recent performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, one of the biggest music events. During the festival, Dhillon paid tribute to the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala by singing “Brown Munde.” However, his decision to break his guitar afterwards sparked significant criticism from fans.
Following the release of AP Dhillon’s song ‘With You’ on August 24th, the song garnered over 25 million streams in just two weeks. This success propelled Dhillon to the seventh spot on the Weekly Top Artist India chart, a leap from #25. ‘With You’ is one of nine tracks by Dhillon on the Weekly Top Songs India chart, alongside hits like ‘True Stories’ and ‘Excuses.’ Dhillon’s Spotify followers have 10.6 million monthly listeners in Spotify and continue to grow.
