Delhi’s very own musical sensation, Singer King, set the Arun Jaitley Stadium ablaze with a performance that was more than just music—it was the triumphant homecoming of a dreamer who once stood at the edge of impossibility.
Taking center stage at the IPL 18 Opening Ceremony, King delivered a powerhouse set filled with emotion, nostalgia, and raw energy. But more than anything, it was a celebration of how far he had come—from dreaming in the lanes of Delhi to performing in front of thousands in his hometown.
“When you start out with nothing, dreaming in a city, and one day a thousand people show up to watch you perform and they know your name—that’s not just a performance, that’s the victory of a dreamer. It’s a win for me and for those who dream.”
This heartfelt message echoed across social media ahead of the event, but it truly came alive under the stadium lights.
Opening with his breakout hit “Tu Aake Dekhle,” King instantly ignited the crowd. The performance flowed into chartbusters like “Stay,” “High Hukku,” and the anthem that has come to define his journey—”Maan Meri Jaan.”
Remembering his previous IPL performance, King shared:
“It’s the biggest stadium. And I have never had such an experience in my life. It rained a day before. I remember it like a story. And the next day I performed. And it was surreal to see Dhoni in front of my eyes. And when I sang, and then Dhoni enters—it was very good for me. And I still get a glimpse of it. It was such a special moment for me.”

His gratitude was palpable as he wrapped the moment with a playful yet poignant lyric:
“Mita tu na meri in batao se itna pyaar se batae likwao na, na mein beitha reh jau teri raho mein . Koi mujhko IPL dikhwao na”
Earlier, setting the tone for the night, King posted a message that instantly resonated with fans:
“Aaj Shaam Ek Bachhe Ka Sapna Pura Hoga.”
“Tonight, a child’s dream will come true.”
And indeed, it did.King’s performance at the IPL wasn’t just a show. It was a milestone—a poetic victory lap for a boy who once dared to dream, and a reminder to everyone watching that dreams, no matter how wild, do come true.
