official song for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 song De Ghumake - Lyrics

The official song for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 song De Ghumake has been composed by the Indian musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and has been directed by Piyush Raghani. It was released on 7 February through Indian TV channels. The music video aims to capture the celebration, competition and excitement associated with the Cricket World Cup in a way that would appeal to fans the most.

The highlight of the set is a unique rotating circular stage. Not just that, this phrase also inspired Longinus Fernandes, of Slumdog Millionaire fame, to choreograph the signature dance step of the music video.


De Ghumake is a passionate expression that creatively captures the fierce sense of competition and the desire to win.  It literally means Hit It Hard. This local cricket phrase is every fan’s wish and every cricketer’s intention. It encapsulates all that it takes to win a match.
