India" became a frequently-played sports anthem.[3] According to Salim Merchant, the song "almost became the sports anthem of the country, especially after India won the Cricket World Cup 2011."[4][5] After India's World Cup victory, Indian team player Virat Kohli "sang 'Chak de India' to the crowd".[6] When India defeated South Africa at the 2015 Cricket World Cup, Nitin Srivastava of the BBC noted: "MCG has erupted with "Vande Mataram" (the national song of India) and "Chak De India" (Go India!) slogans in the air."[7]
