With the ICC World Cup 2019 beginning today, the captains of every cricket team that qualified for the quadrennial tournament visited Buckingham Palace to share a moment or two with Queen Elizabeth of the Royal Family of England. 

According to the images published by the official Twitter accounts of the Royal Family and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and some other international cricket boards, the gathering surely felt like a celebration of the game that originated on English soil and the fact that the game's biggest contest in the world is happening at home, itself. 

Queen Elizabeth and grandson Prince Harry took out some time to individually meet and greet every skipper, all of whom stood in a line, dressed in their cricket board's official uniform to have an interaction with the royalties. 

The tournament will feature the world's top ten teams, nine of whom are from the Commonwealth: Australia ð¦ðº, Bangladesh ð§ð©, England ð´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿, India ð®ð³, New Zealandð³ð¿, Pakistanðµð°, South Africa ð¿ð¦, Sri Lankað±ð° and the West Indies ð§ð¸ ð§ð§ ð¨ðº ð¯ð² ð­ð¹ ð©ð² ðµð· ð¬ð¾ ð¸ð· ð¹ð¹. pic.twitter.com/zVVAxlkvtv

However, when it came to the Indian cricket team's captain, Virat Kohli to come forward to meet the Queen and the Prince, the Indian cricket fans had a different concern altogether.

Now unless you live under a rock, you have heard of the extremely catchy 'Cricket ka Crown' anthem which was produced and popularised by the Star network that has the right to broadcast all World Cup matches in India. 

After the original video coming out about a month ago, the official YouTube channel of Star Sports uploaded yet another video, a sequel to the previous one, but this time with former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni doing some really good acting that led us to believe that Mahi might just a better actor than more than half of Bollywood.
