"The last time I was at the SCG, it was actually the last ODI that Sachin Tendulkar played, and I was playing the dhol to support the Indian cricket team," said Pav Dharia to SBS Punjabi.
"But today, the feeling was entirely different because I knew that over a billion people were watching me as I sang."
"It really was a moment of pride for me because although I was born in India, I moved to Australia at the age of 10 - having done my schooling here, I can obviously sing the Australian national anthem with my eyes closed. But I really did practice singing the Indian anthem a lot before taking the stage today."
Pav Dharia adds, “I was quite relieved when I finished singing at the SCG, because I was quite nervous going in.”

"But this is a great way to start 2019 and probably something that every musician aspires to have in their resume."
Pav Dharia is a well known Punjabi music composer and singer who began his musical career in Melbourne and now lives in Sydney with his family.
