The special performance started with a dance performance from a team that danced to songs like Teri Mitti, Hum India Waale, Challa (Main Lad Jaana), all of which are themed around patriotism in Bollywood movies. Following the dance performance was a singing performance from Shankar Mahadevan, Siddharth Mahadevan, Shivam Mahadevan, and Shrinidhi Ghatate.

Rajat Patidar claimed that he would have opted to bowl first as well. He felt it to be another game and agreed to the pressure to deliver at all costs. Neither team had any changes, as they went with the same team they played in their previous encounter.
