The world’s biggest cricket stadium is now the setting for Indian cricket’s global domination moment as they prepare to take on Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup final tonight.

If this World Cup’s most domineering team takes down five-time World Champions Australia, it will be the perfect finish for the hosts.

Indian cricket has administrative and financial muscle but the coveted ICC trophies has eluded them for more than a decade.

The high-stakes moment has drawn a stellar cast in the viewing gallery.

Indian Express reports Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be present along with Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles.

Jets from the Indian Air Force’s Surya Kiran aerobatics team will be flipping over the arena just after the toss.

Nearly every break in play will be filled with entertainment.

Singers and dancers will perform in the innings break, and a laser show on the roof of the stadium is also listed.

A parade of champions – captains of triumphant World Cup teams from over the years barring Pakistan’s Imran Khan will be felicitated just after the air show.

It remains to be seen whether it will be Rohit Sharma or Pat Cummins who will be a part of a similar parade of champions in the next ODI World Cup.

History is calling and both captains seem to be all ears.

India takes on Australia at 8.30pm.
