The Bharat Army, India’s official global supporters’ group, continues to light up Australia with a series of Fan Marches and Pre-Match Performances, uniting passionate fans from across the world to rally behind Team India during their upcoming tour down under.
Known for their infectious energy, colourful displays, and unrelenting voice, the Bharat Army will transform the streets of Adelaide and Brisbane, after a rousing start in Perth, into seas of blue with synchronised chants, drums, and song, creating an atmosphere that mirrors the spirit of a home game for the Men in Blue.
Adelaide: October 23, Thursday
The spirit comes alive in Adelaide as a 50-strong contingent gathers at the South Gate Entrance of Adelaide Oval at 12:30 PM. Fans will perform along the scenic walkway under the trees, amplifying the matchday buzz with beats, music, and camaraderie, a true celebration of Indian cricket culture.
Brisbane: November 8, Saturday
The tour’s most vibrant fan gathering will take place at Woolloongabba Place Park in Brisbane. Over 200 Bharat Army members will unite from 4:45 PM, turning the park into a festival ground of rhythm, flags, and fervour. The gathering, not a march but a celebration, will show the Bharat Army’s signature energy and pride in its purest form.
For over two decades, the Bharat Army has been the heartbeat of Indian cricket fandom, bringing together supporters across continents under one anthem: “We are the 12th Man.”
Their fan marches have become symbolic of unity, pride, and the unshakable belief that cricket is an emotion that binds millions.
Rakesh Patel, Co-founder of The Bharat Army, said, “Wherever India plays, we make sure it feels like home. These fan marches are about walking together as one family, celebrating our shared love for Indian cricket. The colours, the chants, the emotion are a reminder that the Bharat Army is defined by passion.”
As the Bharat Army’s blue wave continues to roll across Australia, one thing remains certain, whether it’s outside Adelaide Oval or at Woolloongabba Park, the sound of Indian pride will echo loud and proud.
