NBA cheerleaders dance to 'Ghoomar'

New Delhi [India], Jan 31 (ANI): Indian beats were heard during a National Basketball Association (NBA) match. Cheerleaders danced to "Ghoomar", a song from the Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film Padmaavat.

The dance was performed during a match between Charlotte Hornets and Miami Heat, played on January 28 in the U.S.

The NBA posted a video of the dance on its Facebook page on Tuesday and it went viral. Over 9,800,00 views and 2,500 shares were recorded in a single day.

'Padmaavat' has been a political hot potato in India with the Rajput community claiming that historical facts in the film have been tampered with.

Fringe groups, including the Shri Rajput Karni Sena, staged protests demanding a ban on the film.

The movie was, however, released on January 25 despite the protests. (ANI)

Grinding out in his 20s in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) and domestic cricket for Mumbai, Suryakumar struggled to make it to Team India, watching many of his peers get a national cap. Despite a purple patch in the IPL from 2018-2020, which saw him score 400-500 runs consistently, India's very own 'Mr 360' struggled to catch selectors' attention. But when he finally did at the age of 30, his next five years saw him live out a decade worthy of career highs and lows, making him one of the most intriguing figures of Indian cricket.
