Earlier, Kohli, Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma and other cricketers had appeared in the official theme song of IPL 2019.

It is worth mentioning that IPL 2019 is slated to commence on March 23. The season opener will be played between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
