The game "was the most watched television event in India in the last four years" since the finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 (INDIAN TELEVISION, 2/26). ... Music label Universal Music India in association with Ten Sports Network "has launched a song that celebrates cricket, titled Heroes (We Could Be)." The original song of the same name by Grammy-nominated Swedish DJ/producer Alesso "is a global hit." The Indian version "has been sung by Kanika Kapoor" (INDIAN TELEVISION, 2/26). ... Journalists responsible for the Sunday Times FIFA Files investigation and Private Eye’s reporting on a corrupt contract between the U.K. and Saudi governments "have shared the 2014 Paul Foot award for investigative and campaigning journalism."
