As the IPL was introduced in Indian in 2008, BCCI was not so sure about its success but launched it on an experimental basis. Due to the team selection concept where it was agreed to have city based franchise, the competition became quite intense. It provided level playing field to the teams as they participated in an auction to bid for the players. Complete transparency was assured as the television channels broadcasted live auction procedure.
The opening ceremony of the Indian Premier League 2016 will be held April 8 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai and it will certainly be a glitzy affair. Like in previous years, IPL 9 will also witness some flamboyant performances by a number of Bollywood celebrities during the opening ceremony.
Stars like Katrina Kaif, Ranveer Singh, Jacqueline Fernandez and Yo Yo Honey Singh would be seen performing on the occasion, according to PTI. The report noted that English band TBC will also enthral the audience.
Moreover, there would be 200 dancers, mass cast performers, folk artists and percussionists to add more entertainment to the much awaited inaugural ceremony of IPL 9. “Ferriswheel is all set to put together a mad cricket party which will enliven the spirit of cricket. For the first time ever, India will see a 360 degree experience of seamless graphics and projection and state-of-the-art technology – all in one show,” Ferriswheel Entertainment (organiser of the opening event) said in a press release.
Anushka Sharma’s performance during IPL 8 was much talked about due to her link-up with Royal Challengers Bangalore captain, Virat Kohli. However, the duo has reportedly parted ways now, but they still apparently share good equation. Other stars who performed in IPL last year were Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor and Farhan Akhtar, among others.
