Watch: Indian cricket team singing National Anthem will have you in goosebumps

Team India is playing its 500th Test match as it takes on New Zealand on Thurday in Kanpur.

Ahead of the match, all the Test captains including Sachin Tendulkar were present at the match venue.

Dignitaries like Rajeev Shukla and BCCI President Anurag Thakur were also in attendance.

It is customary that national anthems of both the teams are played before a match begins.

This time it was different for India as the makers of modern Indian cricket were present in the stadium to sing the National Anthem in the honour of the beloved nation they represent.

Captain Virat Kohli and the rest of the team sang National Anthem along with the entire stadium. And this is the best thing you would watch today.

Watch the video and swell in pride.
