The ICC World Cup, one of the most anticipated tournaments the whole cricket world waits for is taking place in India. The stadium is filled with colours like blue, pink, yellow and red. Did you notice that these colours are also included in the ICC World Cup logo?
In April, the ICC introduced the concept of 'Navarasa,' a term from Indian theatre representing the 'nine emotions,' into the cricketing context. These nine symbols, used as the logo for the ICC World Cup 2023, each carry unique meanings.
According to the ICC, it said, "The Navarasa has been reimagined in a cricketing context, using symbols and colour to depict the various emotions fans feel while living the drama and excitement of a World Cup cricket match. The rich history of the Men’s Cricket World Cup will induce so many emotions in fans all around the world".

1. Joy
2. Power
3. Passion
4. Respect
5. Pride
6. Bravery
7. Glory
8. Wonder
9. Anguish
These are the feelings which represent the reactions that a Cricket World Cup evokes.
