Top 3 Celebrities to Attend IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2026 Match

The T20 World Cup 2026 is set to host one of its biggest clashes of the tournament, which is between the arch-rivals, India and Pakistan. The match will take place on Sri Lankan soil at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, one of the biggest cricket stadiums in the world.

Both teams are on a good run, having won their first two matches of the tournament. The Men in Blue are at the top of the Group A points table, thanks to their superior net run-rate. Pakistan had initially threatened to boycott the clash due to the political tensions between the two nations as they decided to take a stand with Bangladesh, who were replaced by Scotland in the last moment.

However, after several meetings between ICC and PCB, the matter was finally resolved, and fans were thrilled to know that this match will take place. Interestingly, the buzz is not just about the match, but also about the celebrities who are set to attend it.

Being the greatest rivalry in cricket, the IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2026 match will attract plenty of celebrities as well. This match will arguably be the most lucrative one of the tournament and is set to contribute heavily in terms of revenue.

1. Rohit Sharma

Former India skipper Rohit Sharma, who led the team to the T20 World Cup title in 2024, is likely to attend the IND vs PAK match. Notably, Rohit is the brand ambassador of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 and also attended India's tournament opener against the USA in Mumbai.

Several social media posts and reports suggest that he is likely to attend the India vs Pakistan match in Colombo. Hence, he can be among the IND vs PAK match celebrities this time around.

2. Jay Shah

Former BCCI president and current ICC chairman Jay Shah has often been seen attending cricket matches, and speculations are now being made around him attending the IND vs PAK T20 World Cup match as well.

The same reports have revealed that he will be sitting alongside the PCB chief, Mohsin Naqvi, who clearly doesn't have good relations with the BCCI or the ICC. It would be interesting to see if players from both teams will be shaking hands with each other this time or not.

3. Hanumankind

Famous Indian rapper Hanumankind is set to perform before the IND vs PAK clash in Colombo to kickstart the most decorated contest of the tournament. The star rapper might extend his stay at the stadium and witness the big match from the stands.

Many Indian fans and big names questioned this move of the ICC to give such importance to a group stage match. However, it was done since it's such a massive occasion. Earlier, a similar kind of concert took place in Ahmedabad when these two teams took on each other during the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
