AR Rahman to enthral Bangladesh in a concert celebrating Mujib’s birth centenary

<p>
<strong>Finally, the much and eagerly awaited A.R. Rahman's concert is all set to take place in neighbouring Bangladesh’s Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka today.</strong></p>
<p>
It may be recalled that the event “Cricket Celebrates Mujib 100” which was scheduled two years ago had to be postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic waves. The concert is being held to mark the birth centenary of Bangladesh’s Father of the Nation, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and is organised by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.</p>

Rahman reached Dhaka on Sunday night with a group of 240 people.</p>
<p>
The BCB had also planned two T20 matches between Asia XI and World XI with star cricketers like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, KL Rahul, Chris Gayle giving their consent to play but due to the pandemic these were cancelled. The Board is hoping to arrange these matches some time in future.</p>
