Anushka Sharma to perform at IPL 8 opening ceremony

India might have lost the World Cup but Anushka Sharma has been facing the major brunt of their loss. While a fraction of the Twitterati has revolted against her, blaming her and calling her the main reason behind India's loss, Anushka's fans have stood for the actress. Now, they have one more reason to be happy- Anushka will be seen performing at the opening ceremony of IPL this year. 

Anushka will be seen grooving to her famous Bollywood numbers in Kolkata on April 7. Although an official announcement is yet to be made by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), talks with the actress have been fruitful. What's special is that Anushka will be performing at the Salt Lake stadium and this would be her first performance for the BCCI. 

Another thing that makes the event more special is the presence of her boyfriend and cricketer Virat Kohli, who is also the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore. We hear the organisers are already planning to make the Anushka-Virat moments special. While the organisation is tight lipped about their plans, promising few surprises, we can only wonder if Virat too will be seen performing with Anushka!
