The West Indies, they had the music. The telecast would start with "Sun is Shining", and the bands in the stands would play all night. Only rarely do I go through a Shivnarine Chanderpaul innings without listening to "Hooper and Chanderpaul". Written by Dave Martins, the song chalks out a winning strategy: Halla Bol’ is a unique selling point of the film. It is an exhilarating Bollywood sports song. Zinda – Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) I was also trying to capture a certain point in time, to tell a story about the moment. But at the same time I wanted to recognise that there is tomorrow. So the song reflects the mood of the day but also calls on people to rally and protect the future.”

It is a sports anthem that will surely leave any listener with goosebumps. Yahan Ke Hum Sikandar – Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992)

This scene is followed by ‘Re Sultan. Thus it is perfectly positioned within the movie for a motivational lift. People who had become far too accustomed to winning all the time began grumbling. I was listening to all the things being said, their mouths running off, and thought: ‘That’s enough! I’m going to write a song to answer all that.’ And I just wrote what I felt inside. The song follows the iconography of the team training hard under Kabir’s leadership. It showcases them running, playing and working out.

Please/ Give me one chance/ I know I’m not an Indi/ I promise I’ll make you laugh/ I’ll even learn some Hindi Aashayein’ has the theme of perseverance echoing in its lyrics, with these words especially captivating: The music video for the song was directed by Storm Thorgerson. [8] The beach scene in the official video was filmed on the Dorset coast near Charmouth. The themes of ‘Chak De India’ include determination, resolve and courage. This is all built together by a patriotic chorus. The song also features Maksood, aka Ghode (Aditya Lakhia) and Ghanshyam, who is familiar as Ghanshu (Deven Bhojani).

year old SPOILER ALERT: The video for this song pretty much spells out the entirety of Top Gun, but if you want to watch it anyway for its totally platonic volleyball then go ahead. Salman sang a version of this enchanting number and it is up there along with other great Bollywood sports songs. Parwah Nahin – MS Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) The official anthem of India’s 1999 World Cup campaign the tune, player cameos and clip, in general, is epic. Their only hit to peak at number 100 of the ARIA Chart “Can’t Bowl, Can’t Throw” a hilarious take on the Scott Muller/Shane Warne/Joe the cameraman incident of 1999. It would be a bit amiss to not have at least one song from the sub-continent in this list. So here it is. I’ve got no idea who this Wilbur is, but good on him for making an effort. He clearly loves the game, so he seems like a good bloke. This could be a loose club number if it had more snare claps and bass thumps.
