Dua Lipa rumours debunked: ODI World Cup 2023 final Shifts focus back to on-field battle!
The source of the rumours was traced back to a video posted by Star Sports on social media. The video featured cricketers KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Kane Williamson, and Darly Mitchell posing fun questions to Dua Lipa. Shubman Gill’s playful query about which song she would perform at the opening and closing ceremonies of the ODI World Cup sparked speculations. Dua Lipa’s response, suggesting her song “Physical” would be fitting for a sports event, fueled the rumours.
However, recent clarifications have confirmed that the video was a lighthearted production, recorded before the start of the World Cup, and the rumours of Dua Lipa’s performance at the closing ceremony are untrue.
