Janaki Easwer: 13-Year-Old Indian-Origin Girl To Perform At T20 World Cup Final

An Australian girl of Indian origin, Janaki Easwar, will perform in the closing ceremony of the T20 World Cup, alongside Australian rock band Icehouse.

Despite the fact that India was eliminated from the T20 World Cup after losing to England by 10 wickets in the semi-finals, an Indian voice will be the centre of attention during the world cup's closing ceremony at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). A 13-year-old Australian girl of Indian descent, Janaki Eshwar, who gained global attention through the world-famous reality show 'The Voice' in Australia, will perform at the Twenty20 World Cup final. She will perform alongside the Australian rock group Icehouse.

Janaki will perform during the second song of the evening, "Icehouse's We Can Get Together," which will also feature Zimbabwean-born Thando Sikwila.The teenager expressed her excitement at the chance to perform in the World Cup final in an interview with theIndian Express.

"Performing in front of a massive MCG crowd and getting broadcast to millions of people globally will be an unbelievable experience. My parents are ardent cricket fans. It is through them that I got to know the magnitude of this opportunity. I heard that the tickets are already sold out. I am looking forward to performing and also the game. It would have been nicer if India played the final, though," said Janaki.

According to the pop culture magazine Rolling Stone India, from singing in raag Kamas on The Voice Australia to confidently capturing the essence of Billie Eilish with a cover of "Lovely," singer-songwriter Janaki Easwar has leaned on her Indian and Australian upbringing without any hesitation. While she quickly became a sensation in Australia after wowing coaches like Keith Urban, Rita Ora, and Jessica Mauboy in 2021, she's spent her recent time making inroads into India with televised performances in Kerala.
