During England – Australia match, someone mistaakenly played India’s national anthem in Pakistan

Recently, news related to cricket has come to the fore. In the Champions Trophy 2025, a match is being played between Australia and England at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. An incident occurred during the national anthem before the match between England and Australia, which shocked the crowd in the stadium. Pakistan had to face a lot of embarrassment due to this incident.

The Indian national anthem was played by mistake at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore shortly before the start of the Champions Trophy match between Australia and England. As soon as the Australian team lined up for their national anthem, the crowd and the players were shocked when for a few seconds, not Australia’s but India’s national anthem was played. This has revealed a big mistake of the ICC and the Pakistan Cricket Board. Fans are sharing its video on social media and making fun of Pakistan.

In the tournament organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the national anthems of the two competing teams are played before the match. This happens after the toss and then the players of both teams shake hands with each other. The organizers immediately realized their mistake. However, by then ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’ had already been played. Its clip is being shared on social media. Users are trolling Pakistan a lot and sharing humorous comments.

There are no Champions Trophy matches India must play in Lahore or even in Pakistan. During the eight-team tournament in Pakistan, India refused to travel there. India had refused to tour Pakistan due to security reasons and is playing its matches in Dubai under the hybrid formula. For this reason, the Indian flag was not hoisted at the National Stadium in Karachi, while the flags of all the other competing teams were hoisted. However, later when the controversy arose, the flag of Hindustan was also hoisted.
