While launching the anthem, Trivedi said: “It’s been an absolute honour and great fun working on this year’s anthem for the Delhi Capitals. Delhi, as a city, has tremendous energy and you can almost never stop a Dilliwala from shaking a leg if the music’s peppy and catchy.”
Chaahein jeete. Chaahein haare. O Dilli re, tu #RoarMacha!

“We want the city and its people to experience the quintessential Dilli vibe through this song. That’s why we have incorporated words like ‘scene’ and ‘swagger’, and phrases like ‘lagi padhi hai lanka’ that are typically Delhi. And the stress on the word ‘roar’, a natural continuation from the team’s magnificent tiger logo, essentially captures a quality that Delhiites possess – fierceness,” he added.
