Musical master A. R. Rahman has always believed in going that extra mile and stretching his limits where music is concerned. By now, he has composed for innumerable films, for musicals. But now the composer has found a new challenge and mastered it as well.According to reports, Rahman has composed the anthem for the Twenty20 Champions League cricket tournament to be held in December this year. And if that is not enough, the maestro will also be composing the anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth Games to be held in New Delhi. The cricket tournament's anthem will be without the traditional lyrics; instead, it will have chants. The anthem is believed to have a lot of high energy, passion and excitement, as befits an anthem for a sport.
It seems that the composer, who is an ardent cricket fan himself, was very happy to compose the track. It was a change from his usual line of work. The organizers intend to use this anthem for future editions of the tournament as well.
And if it's cricket and India, then the passion, excitement and energy have to be imagined to be believed. Knowing Rahman, he would have captured the Indian passion and love for cricket perfectly in the anthem.
