India vs Pakistan match is all set to light up the atmosphere not only at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad but in the whole country on Saturday, October 14.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) hasn't left any stone unturned to make the much-anticipated clash even more special for fans with both its cricketing and non-cricketing action.
The board on Thursday announced a remarkable lineup of musical artists who will make it a memorable day with their jaw-dropping performances.

India's biggest singers and musicians will be at the world's biggest stadium before the world's biggest rivalry match. Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, and Sukhvinder Singh will be present on the exceptional occasion to light up the stage in the pre-match ceremony.
The BCCI didn’t organise an opening ceremony at the start of the tournament. It seems like it is going to treat the pre-match ceremony of the IND vs PAK clash as equivalent to the opening ceremony.
Talking about the match, a heavy arrangement of security also has been made for the high-profile battle on Saturday.
Considering the legendary image of the India vs Pakistan match, the city of Ahmedabad will be secured by more than 11,000 members of the Gujarat police, National Security Guard (NSG), Rapid Action Force (RAF), and home guards.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf will also be present at the stadium for the high-octane clash. Ashraf left for Ahmedabad on Thursday night as he decided to register his attendance on the special occasion after the invitation of the BCCI.
Ashraf had also visited India in 2012/13, when he was the chairman of the PCB, for a bilateral series.
