"I still remember the moment when we were in our last over and everyone was praying with their heart and soul that we win this match" Suresh Raina

The upcoming episode of Indian Pro Music League is surely going to be nothing short of a delight for the viewers as the ambassador of UP Dabbangs, Suresh Raina will be seen sharing the stage with Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra.

While the show was filled with power-packed performances from the captains and team members of Punjab Lions and UP Dabbangs, the highlight of the evening was the celebration of Team India winning the Cricket World Cup 2011, 10 years ago.

While paying a tribute to this glorious moment and to the Indian Cricket Team, Suresh Raina couldn’t help but go down the memory lane reminiscing the biggest moment when he felt even more proud to be an Indian!

Recalling the memory, Suresh said, “A win in a team sport is not just of an individual but of an entire team which comprises of coaches, team members and every single person who is connected with the team.

I still remember the moment when we were in our last over and everyone was praying with their heart and soul that we win this match.

Even superstar Parineeti Chopra couldn’t stop herself from taking Suresh Raina’s autograph on a bat post the performance

As soon as that happened, it was the most surreal experience for us as the entire stadium was singing ‘Vande Mataram’ with their mobile flashlights swaying in the air. That is the moment all of us had a feeling that we had truly made our country proud.”

Coming together to depict their spirit of patriotism, the singers and captains of both the teams came on the stage to sing to the tunes of ‘Vande Mataram’ as they collectively paid a tribute to the Indian team and the country respectively.

Even superstar Parineeti Chopra couldn’t stop herself from taking Suresh Raina’s autograph on a bat post the performance.

What is sure to excite viewers in the upcoming episode will be Parineeti and Suresh presenting a cricket and badminton fusion of sorts where Parineeti will be seen marking shots with her badminton racket while Suresh brings his classic cricketer style on the floor using his bat.
