Cricket and Hindi films. What seems to be the common connection? Perhaps it’s the love of fans and the very fact that the fans can’t seem to have enough of the two. Don’t you think? A recent instance, purely intended for fun and hence, light hearted came to life very recently. And the same fun episode has been shown a lot of love over social media.
So let’s jump into what’s being talked about. For starters, this one concerns the Indian Premier League.
The internet loves a good cricketing fairytale—and when you add Bollywood flair and a touch of AI creativity, it becomes pure magic.
Following Lucknow Super Giants’ nail-biting win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, a lighthearted AI-generated video has taken social media—especially Instagram—by storm. The clip reimagines LSG players grooving to the iconic “It’s Magic” track featuring Hrithik Roshan, blending cricket and cinema in the most entertaining way possible.
A Win Worth Dancing About Lucknow’s victory itself was nothing short of cinematic.
In what was a super Sunday for the Goenka-owned franchise, chasing a target of 157, they edged past the finish line with 160 runs, sealing the game on the very penultimate ball. It was the kind of match that keeps fans on the edge of their seats—and clearly, one that deserved a creative celebration. Really.
Cricketers Turned Dance Stars
The viral video uses AI to map the faces of LSG stars onto slick dance sequences inspired by Hrithik Roshan’s smooth moves. The result?
A hilarious yet oddly impressive mashup featuring:
Mohammed Shami, of all cricketers, showing off unexpected rhythm
Rishabh Pant, the captain, leading from the front—on the dance floor too and his moves are simply brilliant (though AI assisted)
There’s the familiar Protea Aiden Markram adding international flair
The seamless transitions and expressive choreography make it hard to look away—and even harder not to smile.
